We need a new upgrade into the whole generative expand function

I photograph a lot of fashion photography and sometimes there are a lot of skin showing (no private parts at all, I repeat: no private parts. Nor anything that would be considered NSFW, really clean beautiful art photography), and the generative expand does not allow me to expand the photo (whenever I need more space for example). I don't consider this normal as it is not at all what I'm asking PS to do: all I'm asking for is to generate more pixels so my image would be better croppped.

Could you guys improve how your IA works, so we could finally have a product that allow us to work in peace?

Adobe are aware that the algorithm overly biases caution. I'm guessing that it takes just as much training data to exclude than it does to create. Things may improve with time, however, your best bet is to work around the issue. At least the work around is much faster than not using generative features.

Another one (that seems fairly hit-and-miss) is to enter anything, even a ».«, in the Generative Expand-prompt.

Just add a (solid color) layer above the image layer and paint over the person/s. 

That should make the Generative Expand possible, then hide or trash the »cover-up«-layer.

No, but if you're free to share it, I'm all ears

In the meantime are you aware of the work-around?
