If I prompt "golden droid from classic sci-fi movie", what else am I asking for if not Star Wars?

Or another „copyrighted“ droid for that matter, after all it’s a classic.

Same with robot cop, what the hell did you expect to get…

Or Italian plumber with red hat with M on it, that’s just a description of Mario

an original golden android in the style of a classic sci-fi movie that does not actually exist

edit: i feel like all these comments asking "what else should it generate?" are pretty weird given the proliferation of stuff like non-infringing Star Wars and Indiana Jones knockoffs in other media like Race for The Galaxy or Arkham Horror The Forgotten Age etc.

If you do "Golden robot holding a lazer gun in a sci-fi setting, cinematic" it will give you a golden robot that doesn't look in the style of C3PO or Star Wars.

"Droid" is actually a Star Wars term [1], and saying you want it from a "classic sci-fi movie" is asking it to reference a real thing that is well known. Reid is intentionally pushing it that way to fill his agenda and these terms are not as generic as he's making out.
