Words like emergent, hallucinate, reason, think, infer.. they carry additional meaning. Their use as terms of art in some cases is because for the cognoscenti it helps understand intent by simile, but for the person in the street it is read to mean much more. There are of course lots of interesting emergent behaviours, the patterns in bistable chemical reactions which fascinated Turing, patterns from fractals, flocking models for particle animations from a few rules.
