All the more reason not to give it away so freely. Take steps to protect yourself and your data, because at the rate companies will fall over themselves trying to get at it, it must be worth a lot. It may seem paranoid to some, it may seem like outright lunacy to others, but there's a reason things like privacy shutters exist on webcams, so why doesn't a similar option exist for microphones – something that has already been misused by software manufacturers repeatedly under the guise of oversight, bugs, and glitches. For that, you'll need to go through your app permissions and make sure that nothing seems out of place.
This should prevent Google Assistant from being a persistent eavesdropper, but it won't shield you from third party apps that might have mic privileges.
