Generative Fill and Remove have stopped working properly for the past few days.

This was working perfectly a few days ago. Now, when I select my whole image and say something like “remove writing” or “delete thin writing” or “erase writing,” I can sit there waiting and waiting, and suddenly it stops working and nothing gets done. Or, I can select a part of the image and click the “Delete” button and I wait, but then it stops and nothing gets done. This is wasting my credits (money) and time, and is very frustrating. I am on a Mac, and Photoshop is updated all the way. I do not want to use the Remove tool to solve the Generative Fill button problem, because it doesn’t work as well, and also has selectively stopped working. When I use the Generative Fill button, I had been using the Firefly Image 5 choice, because the other two were doing insane things like replacing my entire image with women’s faces, etc. I tried some of the more expensive Partner choices, but they were tending to overdo their edits, like adding things I didn’t ask for, or changing the entire color tone of the image, or shifting it spatially.

Why has this happened?? It was working perfectly, heavenly, a few days ago and I was so impressed. Now I am just frustrated and having my funds wasted.

I am attaching a sample of the kind of thing I was working on, where I’d be trying to remove extraneous writing I didn’t want in the image. It was working perfectly on all sorts of writing, or sometimes it was musical notes (and I could say “remove music” or “remove musical notes and lines”), or if the writing looked very square and blurry I was saying “remove cuneiform writing” and it still worked perfectly. In no cases was the writing legible enough to be read, and yet it followed my request perfectly. Please fix this.

Remove writing please
