- Q. Dear Rabbi. My four year old child recently at his birthday was given a present of a snake described on the box as an: “Electric Smart AI Snake Toy Automatic Induction, Realistic Cunning Movement for Exciting Pet Playtime Complete Interactive Toy Set - Rechargeable Smart Sensing Interactive Snake Toy”. Since it reacts by AI all by itself, if left on before Shabbat can my child play with it?
I’m sending some pictures and info.
A. Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a opinion is that although it reacts by AI all by itself, it can not be used by even a young child since the noises and sounds can be heard all over. See next question.
