Maybe not 640kiB, but realistically, my guess is that it’s probably possible to do human-level AI with less memory than existing computers have. We just don’t make efficient-enough use of hardware as things stand.
That being said, if you can achieve a given level of performance with a given amount of memory, the next obvious question is “well, how much better might it do if I use even more memory?”
The 640kb thing is a old, really old jab at Bill Gates. It was reported at the time he said it and today people try to argue he didn’t but he once said in the 80’s that 640kb was all the ram you would ever need.
I’ll give AI 640k. Its all it will ever need.

Yeah, I know.
Oh, I guess I can ignore your response then.
