How can I improve AI up vs down recognition?

 Sampler

 Whenever I try to use AI "photo to material"   I still  get something so so until it's a special photo where dark pixels  means deeper  that works perfectly ok without any AI. 

 But it's usually a rare case  so I tried with a manhole photo I actually need to turn into normal map .   I selected "ground" option.   Others looks even less accurate.

  Those rectangular things You can see should  be down  for example.   

  Is there anything to improve the result for better  feature recognition ?  Maybe some clue for AI  as a text or something?   or maybe some helper tools ?   Maybe some small localized vector images  saying this feature have to be  up and this down  ?     Maye a complete vector  image  with all the patterns  AI could stretch/deform  the original  image  to be matching   or something?   

  

 I really want to use Sampler but  for years already can't find  good  subjects for it .     Honestly I can't stand it even for simple tilable  materials blending/compositing  where Photoshop + chatGPT still looks like  better option .  Less extra sub-pixel  blur, simple,  easier brushes for masking  etc.
