If you ever wanted to see Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright say things like “a grilled cheese is NOT the same as a melt, and I’ll report you to the FBI if you continue this slander,” then you’ll have this bot, by 24-year-old software engineer Micah Price. It takes arguments from Reddit, which is often as youthful and belligerent as you can get, and puts it in the mouths of Wright and Edgeworth during a court case.
To use the bot, all you have to do is add “! Objectionbot” as a comment on the thread you want to turn into an Ace Attorney debate, and the bot will scan the thread in a YouTube video. change, and provide the link in a reply. If a specific comment contains a lot of votes, or if the bot views it negatively, the “Objection” image will appear.
The project took Price about three days to compile in Python, and it uses many machine learning libraries to figure out what negativity looks like. The code is open source, so if anyone likes to tinker with it, you can visit it on GitHub. It costs Price $ 10 a month to offer and manage the bot, which is why he said in an interview with Mashable that after a while he will ‘finally just give up’.
