To be fair, if we are going to anthropomorphize it, bullshit and lies implies some sort of negative intent that I’m not sure the models have.

Bullshit is probably the closest, as people will bullshit for all sorts of reasons, but hallucinations is at least intent-neutral, which I think is the point.

A person can 100% believe in the lies they've been told, but that person is not hallucinating.

Take for example climate change deniers; apart from the corporations and the politicians that abuse scepticism to maintain their power and wealth, many of the most fervent deniers truly believe the nonsense they're saying.

Perhaps a more neutral term like "falsehoods" is applicable here.

I think calling it lying requires intent, I’d just say those people are wrong rather than lying

no not true - lazy, imperfect and damaged cognitive functions have similar results.
