It's definitely arrogant.
I don't walk around telling people that I could do their job easily and only avoid it because it bores me. That's pure arrogance.
It takes time to learn to do something well. I know if I sat down and tried to architect the design for a house I'd be able to do it -- eventually --, but this doesn't mean I will write an article about how it's trivial work and that the only reason I will pay somebody to do it is because I "can't be bothered". Not insulting people is a basic level of respect, that I believe you should go way beyond.
