how does youtube predict the specific thing that I want to search after watching a video that mentions the specific thing?

Like for example: I watch a random youtube video & on that video it mentions something (an idea, item, person etc.) that isn’t related to the topic of the video, it caught my interest & before I complete the full sentence or word on youtube search bar the specific thing that I was interested it is suddenly on the top row of search recommendations, that’s more strange is that the video I viewed wasn’t even popular nor mainstream but instead it’s an obscure one & this is not even the first time it happened.

My hypothesis for this is that youtube has an AI that listened to the audio of every video uploaded & collects the words said on the videos which they use when someone watch a video that the AI recognize then recommends it on search bar, or maybe not so if I’m wrong about my theory can someone explain how youtube does this?

Youtube has AI that can check the audio for stuff discussed in it. It looks at the comments of people who responded to that video. It looks at common searches *other* people made immediately after watching that video. It keeps track of your habits, searches, and interests. And it has a very basic AI for filing in generic search stuff (same as Google search does).

All of that feeds together into predicting what stuff you, personally, might be interested in seeing.
