guy-roid is how i say it..
On a side note, Lloid collects donations for the town, but he's also on the island 24/7. Lloid has mad teleportation skills.
Oh, I thought there were going to be different options. I've never heard anyone say it with a hard g. I use a soft g, but I pronounce it like JEER-oid. Not sure if that's correct, but that's how I've always been inclined to pronounce it.
Jai-roid.
"when followed by, e I or y, g may say /j/."
Mostly, it does say /j/ when followed by those vowels. gym, gyrate, gem, giraffe, etc.
So that rule also makes sense in this instance.

I say both interchangeably if that makes sense? Like sometimes I'll pronounce it "Guy-roid" and other times "Jai-roid" There really is no rhyme or reason for me just whichever one pops into my head at the time when I see it.

the first time i saw it i knew it was pronounced with a soft g. with a hard g it just sounds like some energy drink.
