Something that's relatively easy for an advertising giant like Google to do is add an audio signature to video advertisements to get a sense of when ads are being viewed. The resulting data (probably a uuid and timestamp) would be small and could go with the next prompt or perhaps firmware update.
I definitely agree the concern about every conversation being uploaded is nonsense though. It's too much data for them to store and process locally and wait for a window to upload in discreetly.
