Annoying as they are, I don't think its accurate to call messages showing the features of your product "ads".

It does show the discoverability failure of voice assistants

No there's definitely ads. It'll scroll products you might be interested in, or remind you of products you were searching for. Mind you, features are there too, but it's mostly ads
