So what say you General. Does Google know us better than we know ourselves?

This is the confirmation bias fallacy.

Then again, it is also how Google makes money.

The idea that someone is constantly watching you, always taking note of what you say is completely false, though.
Well, technically it is not. Google does in fact record every thing your say (it is how google now knows you said "ok google"). They just do not analyse that yet and usually (not always) remove the recording after a few minutes.
They do save all your searches. tracks what websites you visit, store you contacts, your youtube activity etc. and do in fact analyse and combine that data, as stated in their privacy policy.
Happily, their motto is "don't be evil".
And google does combine all that. As stated in their own policies.

Also, you were high. The Barney theme would have been the exact right song at a certain point.

It knows a LOT about me, yet I often get irrelevant ads- by often, I mean all the time. Can’t remember the last time Google gave me an ad that was important to me.

I imagine I'm hard to advertise to because I virtually never do online shopping, block location data, and don't click ads. Maybe you're the same?
