This bot turns Reddit arguments into Ace Attorney Debates

Arguments have been around since there has been more than one person on the Internet. Some forum debates have become so outrageous that they are forever anchored in the collective unconscious of the web. And now they can be transformed Phoenix Wright Debates.

A new bot created by Micah Price can capture the text of Redd it arguments and translate it directly into a’s framework Ace lawyer

Scene. It seems simple to use: find a good argument, comment it with the correct command (the appropriate “! Objectionbot” or “! Objection-bot”), and the system works.

Price’s bot then picks up the two most frequent commentators on the thread and assigns them the roles of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth. All others are random and depending on the score of the comment, the bot also assigns corresponding happy faces or an “OBJECT!”.

Adding some music from the courtroom gives you a perfect setting for memorizing the Reddit drama. Price says Mashable

that he did it in just three days with Python, along with some computer vision and machine learning libraries, and the code is Open source.

If anything, I hope this bot can expand even further. Twitter threads would be a great implementation, or if they could pull even older arguments from other non-Reddit forums. Fortunately another one Ace lawyer

Fan has already turned the infamous forum thread “How many days in a week” in a Phoenix Wright disputeThat’s why we’re in good hands in this regard.

The bot doesn’t work with every subreddit – Price remembers which subreddits it supports on the Reddit user page of the bot– but don’t hesitate to use this as food for your next dive in a Reddit rabbit hole.
