Can’t remove background person

A couple years ago August 2024 the AI removal tool could remove people from the background and replace with what was around them. Today I am trying the tool and it won’t remove the person. It makes a new face or head. And then it won’t use the background of the surrounding area it takes from other parts of the photo that don’t make sense so it looks worse (like instead of the nearby wall it used my outfit and put that Where a wall should be, above me in the pic)

    What app is this? It doesn’t look like Lightroom to me. Anyway; it looks like you selected only the face of the person you want to remove. You need to select the entire person. If you select just his face, then the only logical thing that AI Remove can do is create a new face to match with what is left of that person.
