Generative expand leaves visible border between generated and original content

Question

I'm having issues with generative expand in PS 25.1.0 on Windows 10.

Generative expand mostly works fine and does a great job, but it sometimes seems to struggle with making a smooth transition in darker images. The image below is one that seems to be especially hard, the original crop is clearly visible. I found threads claiming this should be fixed in v. 25.1.0, but there's apperently still work to do. Someone mentioned that converting from ProPhotoGRB to sRGB is a workaround, that did not solve the problem. The enlargment shows the borders from two expansions and that the generated content has a texture that isn't present in the original. Original at the right side.

Is the team aware of this?

I have the same issue with aviation photos. Expanding the sky leaves clear bands. The effect in some of my photos is worse than yours. I also noticed that the noise level in the expanded area is bad, at least with an image on which I used AI Denoise in Lightroom.
