Yeah, the first few times I chalked it up to that. But then at one point I was talking about something specific, but off the wall for me (can't remember exactly what now, let's say Japanese prison food) and suddenly boom! My Google feed helpfully showed me stories and ads about that specific thing.
If I can remember, I'll try talking about Italian Vegan food and see how long it takes for my phone to coincidentally think I might be interested in that.
