Someone Created a Robot That Turns Reddit Arguments Into Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Courtroom Scenes

A Redditor knowledgeable about the code created a bot that turns Reddit arguments into Ace Attorney courtroom scenes. As reported by Mashable, you can see the bot in action on creator’s micah5 YouTube channel. The bot will read a section of the provided Reddit thread and insert the text into a courtroom debate between Miles Edgeworth and Phoenix Wright, emotional and opposing each other’s claims.

Micah uses a neural network to check the tone of each comment, and if it’s found to be “ negative, ” the bot will count it as an objection, while more positive comments will see charcater sprites made happier. If more than two users are part of the debate, they are represented by tertiary figures of Ace Attorney, who intervene as the two most prominent commentators clash.

You can try it for yourself by commenting! Objectionbot in a comment thread on Reddit – the bot will apparently take around 10 minutes to create the video and respond to you with a link to the video (although Micah points out that it’s still buggy). The bot’s source code can also be found here if you want to find out how it all works.

Have you played Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney?

YESNO

Micah told Mashable that the bot took him three days to complete and that they plan to keep it running “for a few months.” In other Ace Attorney news, here’s our review of the next-gen Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy collection, which launched in April 2019. We got a 7.5 rating for providing a “strong collection” of courtroom dramas ”.
