Honestly AI bidet weighing your shit and analyzing the consistency to indicate possible health problems would not be a horrible use for it. A shit ton of bodily functions rely on gut flora. Much more than previously thought.

And resulting health data sold for mere pennies. So health targeted ads can be flooded to your personal device.

Except the "AI" part would be using a linear static formula to adjust the brightness of the RGB LEDs based on ambient light which only works when connected to the wifi and you must install a dodgy likely spyware app that requires a $49/yr subscription to keep it working.

The buttons would probably be a touchscreen though. Which is annoying because now you are running an ugly 2m USB C cable to the nearest outlet you needed to buy a 40w usb-pd charger for they didn't mention you would need to buy on the box - you know, because we all just have the myriad USB charging technologies already in our homes.
