I'm not sure if this was sarcasm or not, but you actually are supposed to talk to bears like that. Constantly just reminding the bear you're there will prevent you from scaring it with anything sudden and it will feel a lot more calm. The phrase "Hey bear" is actually what I was taught as well.
I'm on the east coast, so I only have to worry about black bears and not grizzlies like this one, so i'm not sure if it's the same for these guys. I do know that for black bears you are supposed to be loud if you do see one though, and typically for brown bears you're supposed to be more mellow.
