Is it wrong to call Allah ‘God’? Yes. You cannot attribute titles to Allah that are reserved for those who follow Him, without associating partners. In Islam, ignorant people may refer to humans like Jesus, Buddha, etc., as gods. Calling anyone other than Allah as God is considered a great sin, as mentioned in Quran Chapter 7, Verse 180.
