@iank85881269: "But with a completely plain background, eg sky, it is useless, insists on finding something to replicate in the space."
Is the object close or touching the edge of the photo? If so, there could be cropped-out pixels that are causing this behavior, and you'll have to undo any Crop, Lens Corrections, and Transform. 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 quickly remove the desired objects.

I cannot believe how amazing the new Heal Tool AI is. It's a complete game-changer when it comes to sorting large areas and medium areas. The AI is completely believable and if not quite what you are looking for, it is well worth trying again. Thank you so much!!!

Personalmente la herramienta la mejoraría para que quitara objetos según el fodo como primera opción. Luego en las variaciones que dé alguna obcion más de la eliminación según el fondo y al actualizar pues que ya dé reemplazos de lo que hayas seleccionado. Pero en primer lugar creo que la utilizamos más para quitar objetos que para reemplazarlos.

The Generative remove is working wonderful to remove dust spots. Super happy!!

Ideally, you should not be using Generative Remove for dust spots. Generative Remove is powered by Firefly AI. It's also credit based, which although it comes at no financial cost at present, this will likely change in the future. The original heal tool is still present and doesn't use AI. As such, it's better suited to removing dust spots and comes at no cost.
Details of AI credits can be seen at https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/firefly/using/generative-credits-faq.html

I am really liking this feature. I don't have to go to Photoshop to remove now. I used it on several images and it did a good job of competely removing what I didn't want and replacing it with appropriate content. I only had an issue with a few images out of all the ones I tried it on,

AI-powered Generative Remove is incredible. SO much easier to use than importing the photo into Photoshop and spending time trying to figure it all out. Cannot wait for it to be available again, it has saved me so much time in editing galleries.

Morning, The AI tool works of a sort - sometimes it provides excellent results but I find in most occasions the results are no where like the results I'd expect. To be honest, the old repair tool did a far better job most of the time compared to the new AI tool. Adobe, if you're listening please give us back the old repair tool or at least both!

The old repair tool is still present, likewise the clone tool (see icons in red box of attached screenshot). If you want to use the old Content Aware Remove tool (blue box), then ensure that Generative AI is unchecked.

Thanks, that's good to know. I have switched back to using the remove tool in Photoshop for now. I'm sure that the Lightroom remove tool will get better over time, especially if Adobe looks at all the feedback. I just don't have time for experimenting.

It works most of the time, the only main issue is low resolution, which limits it's usage, I wish there is a way to use further compute time to improve the resolution.

The remove feature seems to be less accurate after this latest Lightroom update. Prior to the update, the feature was fairly accurate with the removal of objects from the image. Now the feature seems to struggle with simply removing the object. Too often, the feature now replaces the old object with a new object, which usually looks worse.
