Perhaps true. But if you are warning against the dangers of so-called "AI" - "hallucinate" is also suggestive of "dangerous", "insane", and some other strong negatives.

That's reaching for a positive in the negative to me, but undeniable. So .. I dunno you win!

I continue to respect Hinton, he uses and chooses his words carefully I think.

    “It’s just completely obvious that within five years deep learning is going to do better than radiologists.… It might be 10 years, but we’ve got plenty of radiologists already.” - Geoffrey Hinton 2016 [1]
He missed the 5 year deadline by a lot and it currently looks extremely unlikely his 10 year deadline is any good either.
