Ah yes—the Megadodo Publications lobby scene! Zaphod squares up against the receptionist AI claiming the editor is "on an intergalactic cruise in his office."
Classic literal-system nonsense. He cuts through it with pure chaotic persistence and personality—prompt hacking at its finest. Adams knew you'd need clever (or unhinged) inputs to make these things actually useful.
Don't panic, just keep arguing.

Douglas Adams nailed the frustrations of prompting literal AI systems in Hitchhiker's Guide.
Deep Thought gave "42" as the Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything because no one defined the actual Question first. Bad prompt = useless output.
The Nutrimatic Drinks Synthesizer kept handing Arthur a liquid "almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea." He had to argue and describe tea in detail—dried leaves boiled in water, the ritual, everything—before the machine took it seriously and tried computing it. That's iterative prompt engineering to guide (or "trick") the system into the right result.
Adams predicted you'd need clever, precise inputs to make advanced machines useful. Don't Panic!
