The promise of "new space" startups like SpaceX is, that they will somehow be able to reduce the costs of bringing up something into space by multiple orders of magnitude.
With respect to AI processing in space its more about local processing, local decision making, faster response times. It for much more focused and limited work. Not the high volume general purpose work a ground based data center would perform.
