I think it's incredibly accurate. Humans can misinterpret some internal inputs as external inputs and we hallucinate. This is doing the same, erroneous interpretation leading to nonsense interactions.
I don't think that's an accurate description of these errors at all, honestly. It's not a matter of ChatGPT "interpreting" anything. It's a matter of it assembling a response that is linguistically most likely, given its training.
That's categorically different than hallucination, which is an active misinterpretation/invention of sensory data.
