> Calling everything an AI does a hallucination isn't incorrect, but it reduces the term to meaninglessness.

I don't think it does. In this case, "hallucination" refers to claims generated entirely within a closed system, but which pertain to a reality external to it.

That's not meaningless, and makes "hallucinations" distinguishable from claims verified against direct observation of the reality they are meant to represent.
