Studious Redditor Makes Bot That Turns Arguments Into 'Ace Attorney' Parodies

Last year, Twitter saw an influx of Ace Attorney Courtroom Parodies thanks to objection.lol, a website which gave users the power to make their IRL and online arguments read like scenes from the classic video game series. Now, a bot on Reddit will do that work for you.
Objection Bot, created by Micah Price, can take a Reddit thread and transport it into the Ace Attorney courtroom, and all one has to do is type "!objectionbot."
The bot, which debuted on Sunday, will assign comments in a Reddit thread to various Ace Attorney characters, and will give comments an "Objection!" animation or a smiley face depending on the comment's score. Speaking to Mashable, Price says he whipped up the code in three days on Python. "I wasn't sure if it would be popular so didn't want to spent much longer on it," he said. "I used Python and a bunch of computer vision and machine learning libraries. It's uber buggy at the moment, though."
The bot so far seems to be plenty popular—a post of the bot at work in /r/videos gained over 25,000 points. Still, Price appears to have made the bot on a lark. "Only costs me $10 a month to run so no harm leaving it for a couple months. If it's anything like my other side projects I'll just end up abandoning it though. Although maybe someone else will pick it up, it's open source."
For now, it'll be interesting to see if any fresh memes come from Price's work. But for now, we want to see a similar bot made for KYM comment sections.
