The drama is no stranger to Reddit, as many of you may know. And while more than an fwe laugh or laugh at the Reddit arguments that exploded or caught strange twists and turns, there is now a new way to check what’s going on in the comments.
Micah Price, a software engineer from Cape Town, South Africa, on Sunday revealed a bot genius that turns Reddit’s arguments into scenes of Ace Attorney, Capcom Series In which attorney Phoenix Wright struggles to get his clients off the hook using his investigative ancourt skills, Mashable reported. The video’s arguments come with dramatic music and the famous “Objection!” staff. The results are funny, Hilarious, and honestly sometimes do not doand meaning. There are, of course, some who Tease a horrified “Oh my God” when you see what people are discussing.
In an interview with MashablePrice said he got the idea from other meme-based videos on the game on YouTube.
“Dramatic music is great,” Price told the outlet, “especially for melodramatic debates on Reddit.”
According to the video about the Price bot posted on YouTube, the bot checks the most common users in the comment chain and then loops through all the comments in its chain. A neural network so pyou need to check whether the tone of the comment is negative or positive. If the comment is considered negative, it will evoke an “objection!” Meanwhile, a comment considered positive would provoke a happy expression. The bot, which takes about 10 minutes to respond, will make a video based on the comments and send it to the user via a link on Reddit.

Now, the big question in everyone’s mind: can you use it? The bot can be used by anyone on Reddit who types “! Objectionbot ”or“! Objection-bot ”in the comments. However, there is a problem: the subreddit you post must be in the bot’s list of supported subreddits, which you can see on here. If your favorite subreddit to argue is not on the list, Price is getting suggestions on which ones to add.
The bot took about three days to do, Price said, adding that he used Python, as well as computer vision and machine learning libraries in development. It is open source and can be found at GitHub. Right after its launch, the bot was “super buggy”, he said. In fact, according to the bot’s user page, u / objection-bot, broke for a few hours when Price went to sleep. He fixed it later, and the bot reports that is, “back and running for now”.
