"Hallucination" is derogatory and insulting when aimed at normal people who hear normal voices which don't necessarily belong to corporeal beings, or originate in the natural world. Labeling "hallucinations" and pathologizing, then medicating them, constitutes assault and bigotry.
"Hallucination" applied to inanimate and non-sentient software is insulting and presumptive on a different level. I'm fine with "confabulation".
