> I guess humans have agreed, that art is a skill you must learn if you want to produce it, but engineering or software is not a skill worth learning and we are happy if computers can do that for us.

No; it's a conclusion about the product rather than the endeavour. People don't think of the software itself as "art", but as just a means to an end; so they don't mind the idea of any old fool being able to produce it.

Oddly enough, I've come to feel similarly about music. Most of what you hear in "pop music" is highly uninspired, including pre-AI; but it serves the purpose. And now we have AI that doesn't give any indication that it could compete with humans on mash-up ideas, experimental microtonal stuff, etc.; but executes "yet another four-on-the-floor, standard chord progression club anthem" very well. (Except the lyrics. Ugh.)
