CES has barely begun, but 146-year-old plumbing company Kohler has already stolen the show with what will undoubtedly be 2019s hottest gadget: an intelligent toilet with built-in surround sound speakers, ambient mood lighting, and Amazon Alexa voice controls.
Truly, we live in an age of wonders.
Kohlers Numi 2.0 Intelligent Toilet is one of those strange products that draws so heavily on buzzwords and tech trends that its indistinguishable from parody. In a press release, Kohler promises that customers will enjoy a fully-immersive experience thanks to the many lighting and audio enhancements of the Numi 2.0 Intelligent Toilet. Theyll be able to set the mood, using voice commands to cue up music and customize the lighting, all while Kohlers PureWarmth toilet seat add-on toasts their behind to their preferred temperature.
The only blessing is that Kohler isnt advertising the product as artificially intelligent or AI-powered the empty epithets usually given to gadgets with tacked-on voice controls.
