When a human reads a bunch of stuff on the internet and regurgitates it as fact, we don't say they hallucinate, we say that they're wrong.
Why we baby AI on this front, I have no idea.

Hallucinating on the other hand feels way more abstract. We speak of humans hallucinating answers rarely enough that they can use it for AI with a straight face. Heck, when we do talk about humans hallucinating it's often-as-not in the context of mind expanding experiences; maybe AI hallucinations are even a good thing!
It may be part of complex networks and intelligence, and humans may have a lot of it happening all the time but have ways of compensation or suppression of neurotic or hallucinating thoughts.
We have some intense “mental illnesses” that look a lot like what AI is presenting, where it can’t tell what is going on and fills in the gaps (schizophrenia maybe) or uses behavioral patterns to compensate for memory or intelligence inadequacy.
Obviously straight conjecturing here.
