Since there is more than one person on the internet, there have been discussions. Some debates in the forum have become so outrageous that they have remained forever sheltered in the collective unconscious of the web. And now, they can be turned into Phoenix Wright debates.
A new bot created by Micah Price can take the text of Reddit’s arguments and transplant them directly into the structure of a Ace Attorney scene. The application seems quite simple: find a good argument, comment with the correct command (the appropriate “! Objectionbot” or “! Objection-bot”) and the system starts to work.
Price’s bot then takes the two most frequent commentators on the topic and assigns them the roles of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth. All others are random and, depending on the comment’s score, the bot will also assign appropriate happy faces or an “OBJECTION!”
Add a little twist of music in the courtroom and you’ll have a perfect structure to memorize the Reddit drama. Price says Mashable that he did it in just three days using Python, along with some computer vision and machine learning libraries, and the code is open code.
I hope this bot can expand further. Twitter topics would be a great implementation, or if you could take even older arguments from other non-Reddit forums. Fortunately, another Ace Attorney fan has already become the famous forum topic “how many days in a week” inside of Phoenix Wright argumenttherefore, we are taking care of that.
G / O Media can receive a commission
The bot does not work on all subreddits – Price is looking at which subreddits he supports on bot Reddit user page– but feel free to use this as food for your next Reddit rabbit hole dive.
