It is because the AI is not actually doing OCR. It is giving an interpretation of what the text in an image is by ingesting vision tokens and mapping them onto text tokens.
So you either have to be fine with a lot of uncertainty as to the accuracy of that interpretation or you have to wait for an LLM that can do it in a completely reproducible way every time.
