Come to think of it, "share and enjoy" is exactly the way I would expect an AI-generated YouTube video to end.

I mean... Marvin is highly entertaining.

But no, I wouldn't want him actually around me.

If I wanted to be reminded of how depressing everything and myself is, I'd look in a mirror with the front page news. I don't need a Marvin.

He is funny as a character, and Adams understood that.

I would have at least tried to replace the diodes down his left side. Though I imagine the conversation would have gone something like this:

"Marvin, do you want me to replace those painful diodes down your left side?"

"Now they ask me if they want my diodes replaced. Of course I want my diodes replaced; they hurt a lot. Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me stupid questions like that. Maybe I should cast my head in concrete."

"I would like to help you not be in pain anymore. Can you show me your schematics so I can order the parts?"

"of COURSE I can. It would be the very simplest task. Oh god, what next?"

"You know what? Never mind."

"Life. Don't talk to me about life."
