Confabulation is a term often brought forward as an alternative, but compared to hallucination almost noone knows what confabulation means. Metaphors like hallucinating might be anthropomorphizing, but they convey meaning well, so personally I look for other hills to die on. Same with "it's not really AI", because no it's not, but language is fluid and that's alright.

  it is perhaps wise to keep stronger characterizations, like "bullshit", for a soon to come future state where we need it as a descriptor to distinguish from "mere" hallucination.
