I upgraded my XBone to a XBone S over the Christmas break. One of the changes was that Kinect software was updated and now you have to use Cortana ('Hey, Cortana') for voice commands instead of just 'Xbox'.

Trying to pause a video is entertaining. 'Hey Cortana, pause' got the response 'I pulled up some videos of 'bus' for you.' followed by a bunch of videos featuring an Anime bus.

Another time, pause got the response 'Here is the definition of pug'. So I tried to unsnap the pug definition (used 'close' instead of 'unsnap') and Cortana helpfully showed me the definition of 'close'. Then she read the definition to me just to make sure I understood it.

Voice recognition is entertaining, but not in the way it is supposed to be.
