Art can be flawed. Programming is an exact set of instructions for a computer to comprehend in the most literal sense. There isn't nearly as much room for errors. A hallucination during image generation won't cause any damage. A hallucination regarding those very specific instructions can cause problems.

Programming is definitely not an exact science.

Armchair amateur here but there's often a lot of talk about O(n), memory optimization, trash cleanup, compression methods, race conditions, vertex choice in matrices etc...

It reminds me of the neo-plasticists, whose argument was there is no significant difference between painting a farmer next to a pile of hay vs painting a pink square next to a yellow square: both are just arranging representative symbols on a canvas.
