The trope is about biological robots, and other biological humans that are not naturally born (clones, homunculi, etc.) The image voted by the image picking forum shows an obviously metallic robot with skin imitating humans.

Are you contesting the image, or the trope description (as was suggested in the other thread)?

The page image is a question for IP, not TRS.

Sorry, re-reading, "what Bobby said". You're arguing for a redefinition. Right now, the page definition says nothing about how they are constructed beyond "The important thing is Artificial Humans look like humans, they move like them, etc." The line you're relying on, "the original meaning, which according to the dictionary, is "An automaton that is created from biological materials and resembles a human"" is referring to the word "android", not not the term or the trope "artificial human".

I've change the thread title to reflect the apparent intent.
