Is Cortana really this bad?

Following Holograms Course 211 in initial instructions and it offers up:

Enter your device IP address and set Authentication Mode to Universal (Unencrypted Protocol). Click Select. If you do not know your device IP address, with your HoloLens look in Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced Options or ask Cortana "Hey Cortana, what's my IP address?"

When I say "Hey Cortana, what's my IP address?" it comes back with:

"Here's what I found" and shows Edge with my cable modem's IP address, rather than the local IP of the Hololens.

I know the Hololens IP, but just wondering if this is a case where Cortana is useful. And find as in most circumstances, Cortana is woefully lacking in terms of context awareness. Or better to summarize as 'Cortana Sucks'. That's been my continuing experience with this poor technology called Cortana. Now it might not be so noticeable if Alexa/Echo and Ok Google weren't so much better.
