How do targeted ads work and what is the role of voice recognition in them?
I have noticed that some of the ads I see online are related to topics that I have only discussed verbally with others, and not searched for on the internet. For example, I saw ads for a TV show that I had criticized, and a watch brand that I had admired in a store. This makes me wonder if my phone is listening to my conversations and using them to show me relevant ads. Is this a realistic possibility or a coincidence?
