While to system requirements for AI is 8GB, 16 GB of RAM is suggested. Perhaps you are not allocating enough RAM to AI?

You can't allocate RAM on Mac OS

It is not the recommended minimum, 16 gig is recommended, 8 is the minimum.

If that is not correct, this page should be updated.

8 GB is the bare minimum, 16 GB is the recommended minimum.

More is more.

Maybe it's really just not enough RAM. How much RAM is installed?

That is your harddrive and not the RAM.
