That's not how that works. Stop spreading this nonsense.
Google listens in to recognize what music playing (default on Google Pixels) this can't be done locally without a huge database so in way or another Google is sending processed microphone data to their servers. There's no way they can resist getting their grubby mits on that ad data…
The database of fingerprints is actually quite small and stored locally. You could have looked this up in less time than it took you to spout bullshit.
I counted this out based on the number of obscure songs I had seen, making me think it would have to be gigabytes of names alone. This still doesn't stop Google from sending this to their servers as long as it has network permissions.
