If we're being sticklers, in this context you have to take the meaning of the word "master" in relation to its counterpart, "slave"; the other definitions are irrelevant.
arielserafini··on How Google Meet's noise cancellation works
I think the key here is "in the background". I would assume if you're speaking close to the microphone, with no other voices going on, it will not filter anything.
arielserafini··on How Google Meet's noise cancellation works
I'd say this is more like a demo. From the "how it works" in the title I was expecting to see some implementation details.
