Calling them "hallucinations" is a shoddy piece of terminology by the community which anthropomorphises them.

  We're building human-like intelligence, so this seems quite apt?

    Are we? I'd settle for a poor fascimillie, and argue strongly against human-like. Human-like would be, let's say, a Cylon skin-job. ChatGPT is just a fraking toaster, at best.

  What would you recommend calling them? Genuinely curious.

    Mistakes.

    When humans do it we call them bullshitters. But I agree with GP's eager-anthropomorphization complaint. When algorithms produce verifiably wrong output we call them errors.

    According to Geoff Hinton the correct term from human psychology is "confabulations". Hallucinations are a mistake in perception.
