Interesting point. I considered mentioning that human brains are computers, and therefore there is a potential for computational hazards withing human brains. In fact, humans are the result of the universe computing, so really, every hazard is a computation hazard.
Case in point: xkcd: Nightmares.
Try not to dream about and/or imagine sad people.
Those already have the name. Mental problems. Be hallucinations or something else.
Mental problems are when something goes wrong. It's entirely possible that computational hazards happen in normal thought processes. It's perfectly normal to imagine people that can pass the Turing test. Are they real? Do they die when you stop thinking about them?
