Clicking on one sends that comment instantly, saving time on sending comments. With the test, suggested comments appeared in bubbles below the post. The auto-comment test was also run on other types of videos, according to BuzzFeed, including news and gaming. Facebook did not respond to Digital Trends’ request for a comment. Like Facebook fails of the past, the suggestions are probably a result of an algorithm, perhaps one that suggests comments based on the most popular types of responses.

While the content of the first spotted test of the feature is cringe-worthy, Facebook says the tool wasn’t implemented properly and disabled the test.

One commenter described the feature as something that would be on an episode of Black Mirror, another called the screenshot “ the most dystopian thing I’ve seen all day.” A tweet by one user capturing a screenshot of the feature generated criticism for the potential tool. So I’m just noticing that Facebook has a thoughts and prayers autoresponder on our Chicago Hospital shooting livestream and I have thoughts /8LQULnbQtyĪccording to BuzzFeed, the tool created suggestions like “this is so sad” and “so sorry” on a Live video covering the Chicago shooting.
