Er, no. To create anything resembling music, even using a computer, you still need a certain level of songwriting ability and musical knowledge to put something together to become a song, regardless of what you're using to make it. I'm not denying that to play in a band requires the skill of playing instruments, but to say that music created on a computer takes no musical skill is really quite foolish, and just shows your lack of understanding about what music is and what it takes to create it.
