Do tech companies record all audio for targeted ads ?

I had multiple experiences where I would be talking about some topic with my wife and same day(sometimes in less than 15 min) I get bombarded with ads on the same topic on Youtube/Instagram/Facebook etc. I am almost certain as this point that your smart TVs, cell phones and apps like whatsapp do record and have an AI setup to pick up key words for targeted ads.
Can any of you guys working in these places confirm this ? Did you guys have a similar experience ?

Although unlikely, I won't be surprised if the myth turns out to be true.
Maybe when you leave the default checbox selected while installing, it gives them the permission to use it for ads in the name of experimental or feedback data collection.
This is all just a hypothesis may not be true but I don't trust these companies one single bit.
Maybe you are listening to the machine, but just think it is your own thoughts.
