An "error" could be like it did a grammar wrong or used the wrong definition when interpreting, or something like an unsanitized input injection. When we're talking about an LLM trying to convince the user of completely fabricated information, "hallucination" conveys that idea much more precisely, and IMO differentiating the phenomenon from a regular mis-coded software bug is significant.
