Well, if you want to convey confident incorrectness - hallucination is definitely not the word, confabulate is far more like what is happening here. But, that's still anthropomorphizing. I'd prefer "incorrect response" or "bug."

Agree. Incorrect response, or faulty, or erroneous, and/or unsuitable.

We do not call it "hallucination" when a human provides unfounded, or dubious, or poorly-structured, or untrustworthy, or shallowly parroted, or patently wrong information.

We wouldn't have confidence in a colleague who "hallucinated" like this. What is the gain in having a system that generates rubbish for us?
