This Bot Turns Reddit Comments Into Ace Attorney Debates:
Drama is no stranger to Reddit, as many of you all might know. And while more than a few have snickered or giggled at Reddit arguments that have exploded or taken strange twists and turns, there's now a new way to check out what's happening in the comments.
