If you’ve ever wanted to see Ace’s attorney, Phoenix Wright, say things like “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 probably like it. this bot, by 24-year-old software engineer Micah Price. It takes arguments from Reddit, which are often as juvenile and belligerent as you can get, and puts them in Wright and Edgeworth’s mouth during a trial.
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 then the bot will scan the thread, turn it into a YouTube video, and provide the link in a reply. If a certain comment has a lot of negative votes, or the robot perceives it as negative, the “Objection” graph will appear.
The project took about three days to put together in Python and uses a lot of machine learning libraries to find out what negativity looks like. The code is open source, so if anyone wants to take care of it, you can access it on GitHub. The price is $ 10 a month to host and run the muzzle, so he told Mashable in an interview that he can “just give it up” after a while.
