    To be fair, aren’t computer chips smart pet rocks? They’re mostly silicon but they are able to “think”.

      True, but saying that the pet rocks can “think” ruins the experience. To be a true “Pet Rock” it needs to be useless. To be modern, it needs to require internet connectivity for no useful reason. Sort of like “cordless” was years ago, as in “cordless banana”.
