We are comparing between a) asking an LLM to write code to parse a csv and b) writing code to parse a csv.

In both cases, they'll use a csv library, and a bajillion items of lower-level code. Application code is always standing on the shoulders of giants. Nobody is going to manually write assembly or machine code to parse a csv.

The original contention, which I was refuting, is that it's quicker and easier to use an LLM to write the python than it is to just write the python.

Kolmogorov complexity seems pretty irrelevant to this question.
