I suspect you are referring to a strict-algorithm-based processing.
But you can have "[safe-]learning" machines where the parameters of
the algorithm are varied by the machine itself in order to produce the
"desired" result.
In that case, initially identical machines would produce different art,
depending, say, on the feedback/input they get from their owners.
Just imaging:
if one "self-learning-machine-photographer" gets feedback for its images
from PDML, and the other one from Kinkade sales team, - you can imagine
the difference in the resulting art.
Cheers,
Igor

That depends in this case on how you define photography, is it an art or a
craft, in photography you are taking something that's already there and
recording it. The photographer applies his skills in camera and in
processing to make it better in some way. If he's (English makes this the
non gender soporific pronoun live with it), good at it has a good eye and
decent skills, the recording can be raised to the level of art. A machine
can follow the same rules, so it could be machine art, but a machine will
never break the rules.

Ultimately the tool you choose doesn't matter as much as your skill
using those tools and how well you you are able to show others what you've
"seen" with your mind's eye.
If you can communicate your vision, then it's the appropriate tool.

There's really only so much you can do with code, before you're no
longer recording a scene, and are actually generating it, which is art not
photography. Personally I prefer my art to be produced by humans not by
machines mainly because machine art is kinda dull.
