If you've ever wanted to see Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright, saying things like "a grilled cheese is NOT the same as a melt, and I will report you to the FBI if you continue this slander", then you'll probably love this bot, by 24-year-old software engineer, Micah Price. It takes arguments from Reddit, which are often about as juvenile and belligerent as you can get, and puts them in the mouths of Wright and Edgeworth, during a court case.
In order 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 particular comment has a lot of downvotes, or the bot perceives it to be negative, the "Objection" graphic will appear.
The project took Price about three days to put together in Python, and it uses a lot of machine learning libraries to figure out what negativity looks like. The code is open source, so if anyone fancies tinkering with it, you can access it on GitHub. It costs Price $10 a month to host and run the bot, so he told Mashable in an interview that he may "just end up abandoning it" after a while.
Can you think of any infamous Reddit threads that would make a great Phoenix Wright argument? Let us know in the comments.

OBJECTION!
I don't feel comfortable seeing Phoenix and Miles speaking inarticulately with little to no punctuation.
This is hilarious. Now transcribe presidential debate highlights in this format 😈
Flashback to when I spent 15 minutes on objection.lol and my friends thought I was an editing master
Ok this is amazing
"Ass or titties, Edgeworth?"
"I'm more of a thighs person"
Judge: "I care about personality"
This is fabulous! Technology never ceases to amaze me.
@TheFrenchiestFry Edgeworth is a thighs person but only if they belong to Phoenix.
I saw this the other day and I was killing myself LMAO.
Soooo.... can this be used on other forums as well, or is it just for Reddit?

Does satire reflect life, or does life reflect satire?
Wow! @Menardi predicted this article. Nearly got the title correct too.
Objection!
We still don't know if soup is a drink!
@Tourtus It's quite easy once you know the winning Buzzfeed writer's formula. Basically just visit Kotaku and copy their articles, paraphrase the headline, and you're good to go. You could probably automate these non-articles with a stored procedure and GPT-2.
Great! Now code it to work with Twitter threads.
That's great 😂 Will have to watch some more.
This right here is the internet at it's best! Thanks for sharing this @KateGray 😂
I love this! This is even better than I imagined when I saw the title.
This made my day lol

That ending was perfect.
I don't think any machine learning was truly necessary whatsoever to make this compilation but it's still enjoyable to watch.
