You are right that lying and bullshitting are different. A lie is a false statement with intent. Bullshit is nonsense with intent. A false statement and nonsense may share some similarities, but are ultimately different.
Perhaps nonsense is the word we should be applying to LLMs, but often what they say isn't nonsense, even if only by accident, so that doesn't exactly work either. Regardless, it doesn't matter now. As before, "hallucination" has moved beyond analogy and now has its own LLM-specific usage.
