When my phone is spying on me, how does it distinguish between real voices and tv voices?

Your phone typically isn't actually listening to you. Constantly recording and uploading that data would destroy your battery.
A lot of it is just the metadata from ads, apps, location, nearby devices etc. Your phone doesn't need to know that you were watching CNN last night. CNN knows that this IP was watching them, google knows that your phone was at that IP at that time, so it can assume you watched CNN last night.

Your phone typically isn’t actually listening to you.
It is if you have any "voice assistant" on.

Emphasis on the active part. It's listening, but passively for the keyword. The phone isn't constantly sending all the data it hears 24/7 off to someone else. But once that keyword has been activated now it's actively listening and that data is being recorded and sent.

Very convenient, that the keywords they are filtering are endless.
