Well, if you looked at the AI world in 2019, the models were mostly less RAM intense (typically 0.8GB-2GB RAM for BERT/T5 non-large for example). And computer vision models always hit the max you'd throw at them. Things twist and turn. Text requires a large amount of parameters to be useful. If we as humans required 8000x8000 pictures to discern objects, images would require more. It's quite anthropomorphic. That's really the core of it.
