People call AI (hate this buzzword) a "plagiarism machine" out of anxiety, but I just watched a video where HIMYM used classic scenes from Seinfield and Friends and repurposed them to a different narrative goal, and it was called a homage and a reference. Plenty of tropes in literature appear all the time across different works and worlds, become mainstays of the genre, but not plagiarisms of the original work.
An error I noticed in many fictions with an European medieval setting, knights were first and foremost a social caste! Not a profession!
