Hmm, but there are ways of streaming video that don't have traditional Play/Pause/etc. buttons. If there's no way to turn it off, how can Chrome "learn my preferences"? Maybe it can sense me swearing? Not a Chrome user and definitely not starting now. Autoplay video is one of my great annoyances on the modern web.

It does listen to you but it does not react to voice commands. It just wants to know what you are saying so it can serve ads to you.

Google already gets more than enough data about your preferences without having to respect any of them.
