Well that was easy. After giving up on Generative Remove (Lightroom Classic) when it insisted on replacing the person I was trying to remove with a random person...different person every time I tried. I read the recommendations posted here, found the original uncropped photo and...it worked like a charm. I have no suggestion about what to do but somehow there should be a warning/advice to those who don't know not to crop before trying to remove or they will be as frustrated as many of those posting here.
The removal was rather tricky since it was a photo of two people standing rignt next to each other but I'm satisfied with the results. and don't want to post since I do not have permission from either of those involved

@louloubell: "somehow there should be a warning/advice to those who don't know not to crop before trying to remove or they will be as frustrated as many of those posting here."
Agreed. There are even more confusing situations that will silently crop pixels and confuse Remove, such as applying Lens Corrections or using one of many cameras for which LR automatically crops a 10 - 16 pixel border from the photo (that you can't stop).

I'm trying to use this tool to remove electrical poles with a cloudy backdrop, and I find that the filled area is consistently slightly off in terms of color/tone as compared to the background. This is true across all the variations. (I used the standard content removal tool for the power lines connecting to the pole, and it worked just fine.)

I encountered similar suboptimal results a while ago, and I ended up not using Object Aware selection, but instead making a raggedy selection significantly wider than the poles:

I used to have a "photoshop work" that I would outsource - that is no longer necessary! Amazing!

Fréquemment, la suppression générative de Lightroom remplace l'objet que je veux supprimer par un objet différent mais semblable, au lieu de le supprimer. Par exemple cela remplace une automobile par une autre automobile.
Ce n'est pas ce que j'en attends. Qu'une "IA" invente un sujet, un objet ou que sais-je ne m'intéresse pas. Par contre, qu'elle soit capable de reconstituer l'arrière plan qui se trouve derrière l'objet que je veux supprimer, ça, c'est véritablement intelligent., et cela m'aiderait beaucoup.

See this article for how to remove objects more reliably:

Most complaints about Remove are addressed in the article. But if it doesn't help, please attach a full-resolution JPEG exported from the unmodified original photo, so we and Adobe can see the issue in detail. With nearly everyone who has posted a problem photo, we've been able to show how to remove the desired objects.

If you use the AI removal tool of LR on an object in front of a flat, less structured background such as a beach or a house wall, you will get artifacts with brighter areas that roughly correspond to the previous outlines. This does not occur with PS.

@defaultoqq64s6tqtvx, that ghost image is caused by applying Remove (any mode of Remove) on top of an existing mask. Do Settings > Update AI Settings, or apply Remove first and then apply the mask.
This is as-designed by Adobe, though it confuses many people and doesn't fit their natural workflows.

So far I'm loving this feature guys. Mostly it works amazingly, way better than I could do in photoshop. A couple of things for feedback
Keep up the great work

@All Is Light: "Sometimes I can see the delineated area that was removed. It often needs to blend better."
There have been a few posts here about that. If you attach here a full-resolution JPEG exported from the unmodified original photo and call out the object being removed, that will provide more examples to Adobe of what users are finding doesn't work well. See here for a simple technique I've found to avoid the issue:

Much easier than opening up photoshop to remove unwanted objects

It works great or much better in a high-definition RAW file, even when converted to .jpg than in a lower-resolution .jpg file. More information available for it I'm guessing? It is a work in progress, so I hope for much-improved results soon.

Did you apply Remove on top of an AI mask, e.g. a Sky mask? If so, do Settings > Update AI Settings or apply Remove first and then the mask.

A ferramenta "IA Generative" é incrível!!! Uma pena que às vezes ela faz exatamente o que eu preciso que é deletar o objeto indesejado e substitui-lo por completo de fundo fake e perfeito (o que pra mim é mais importante); mas as vezes ela simplesmente substitui por um elemento qualquer (o que eu jamais quero). A ferramenta está a decidir sozinha o que ela faz, se complementa o fundo original ou se substitui por objeto. Isso é triste!

@Gerard38305403cjab: "Blades of grass like this are often not removed, but replaced"
When I apply Generative Remove to your screenshot, it does a good job of replacing the blade of grass with background:
This indicates it's likely you have applied a Crop, Lens Corrections, or Transform, or you have a camera that automatically crops out a small border around the raw photo when you import it. Undo any Crop, Lens Corrections, and Transform and try again. See this article for more details:
https://www.lightroomqueen.com/generative-remove-replace/
If that doesn't help, please attach the original photo here (not an export) so we and Adobe can see the issue in detail. If the forum won't let you attach it, upload it to Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar and post the sharing link here.

Sometimes, the AI did not undestand that i want to remove something replacing it with the background.
