Right on. And similarly, you don't need to learn farming to be able to cook good food, just like you didn't need to know assembly language or machine code to be able to write programs before AI.
in this metaphor you still have the problem that a lot of self-proclaimed cooks don't know their spices, think everything must be deep-fried and constantly use too much/too little salt to produce a dish that is edible but not good (nor healthy, for that matter)
Most of it is in fact NOT art but simply done to solve a problem.
