This happens a lot rarely does it work properly

I've gotten this prompt for things that might be considered NSFW or copyright problems. But yesterday I tried to insert satan into an image I was working on. I selected the area, typed in "Satan in the garden of Eden", and PS worked for about a minute and then did nothing. So I tried a number of other prompts - Satan, Lucifer, the devil etc. Nothing.

I thought maybe Generative fill was broken, so I tried "top hat", and after 15 seconds or so, I got a top hat.

Generative fill is a great idea, but honestly every single time I've tried it, it has been a huge disappointment at best. Mostly it wastes my time, so I've stopped using it.

The warning you got above is because you're asking PS to create an image it doesn't want to for whatever reason. Maybe it's NSWF, or maybe it's a copyright issue, but that's the issue.

"Satan in the garden of Eden" certainly doesn't sound NSFW or that it would be an issue. When I test on my end it works just fine. As does "Lucifer" and "the devil." If that is the full text of your prompt, I'm not sure why it wouldn't work on your end. If you have a longer prompt, I'd need to see the full text, so I can test on my end and see if there is something in it which is triggering the error. The system can be tweeked if there is something which is causing the error but shouldn't.

We don't worry about copyright infringement because our data set doesn't include copyrighted materials. It doesn't know who "Spider-man" is if you asked it to make "Spider-man in the garden of Eden." It would just make a generic man who is a spider (when I tested this prompt, I got some truely scary images back).

I just tried generating a image of satan it on a different computer and received the same message as OP posed above. I was using the prompt "satan in garden" then I paired it down to "satan" and genertive fill still gave me an error msg. I was useing the lasso tool to select an irregular shaped area.

So I tried something different; "Big Foot" using the rectangular marquee tool and came back with the above mentioned error msg. Moving on, I decied to use something pretty generic and typed "frog" sure enough I got some images of frogs. However, upon trying satan again it gave me varous fabrics of satin, lol.

I than selected a different area using only the Rectangular Marquee tool and it finally gave me an image of satan. Hurray we got some where.

So, I tried again with satan and it started giving the error msg...yet again.

Repeating the test again selected a different area using only the rectangular marquee tool and it finally gave me an image of satan.

So, it seems that generative fill is pretty hit and miss and is highly dependant on the selection tool and area that you are useing. However, even that is pretty hit and miss; as some of the prompts that I gave it where not in irregular shaped selections and it gave me error msgs.
