Reddit user makes an Ace Attorney bot for heated arguments on the site

Reddit comments are the perfect place for an OBJECTION!

A Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney bot is turning Reddit arguments into courtroom scenes from the game.

The bot was created by YouTuber Micah who uploaded a video of it in action, using the r/confession subreddit as an example. In the video, defence attorney Phoenix Wright and prosecutor Miles Edgeworth play out an argument found in the comments of a post. Maya Fey even makes an appearance as another user who has jumped into the thread.

Micah explains how the bot works at the end of his video stating that: The bot first checks for the most common Redditors in the comment chain, and applies the most common one to Phoenix, and the second most common to Edgeworth. It then loops through all the comments in the chain and checks the tone of each one. If the tone is negative, the bot will apply the game’s famous catchphrase “objection!” and similarly, “if the tone is positive will apply a happy sprite”.

The bot will then generate a video, upload it, and send a link to the user who commissioned it, which takes around 10 minutes to do.
