Someone can tell you when a math problem is solved. Someone else can't tell you when you've successfully art'd with remotely the same degree of confidence. In so far as they can, however, many experts claim that AI cannot, indeed "do an art".
Also, it's easier to formulate a hard math question (there are plenty of unsolved problems), but that's (IMHO) harder to do for art. Sure, you may think this is the first time the phrase "Astronaut riding a Llama and holding an avocado" was writ, but those are all well represented concepts in the dataset. For more abstract prompts, there really isn't a way to verify "correctness".
