@jHolland45: "I removed a railing on a boat that I was in when I took a picture of an island with a lighthouse. The blue sky had a textured pattern everywhere that the railing was in the sky."
There are two possible causes of this:
- Did you apply Remove on top of a Sky mask? If so, do the menu command Settings > Update AI Settings. (In general, Adobe wants you to apply Remove first, then masking.)
- Sometimes Remove's replacements don't quite match the surrounding sky or other uniform backgrounds. You can try making the selections around the railing much larger to include larger sections of the sky, and/or you can make the selections raggedy (don't use Object Aware). See these two examples:

Trying to use the generative ai remove tool to remove a road (off in the distance) surrounded by green hills. I highlight the road, click apply, and the ai gives me three other road options that I could replace it with......
Face palm.
ai needs to take it's cues from the surrounding areas, not the areas selected to be removed!

Lightroom directed me here to provide feedback for the remove ai. So I assumed this was were we left feedback regarding the remove ai. I don't need assistance.

Your comment suggested you weren't aware of the tips necessary to get Remove to actually remove an object rather than replace it with something similar. But if you used those techniques and they didn't help remove the object, then posting a full-resolution JPEG exported from the unmodified photo will help Adobe understand where the tool is falling down.

I don't agree with your order for editing. I'd think that crop would be first.

@shutterbug9113: " I'd think that crop would be first. "
Adobe recommends that Remove be applied before cropping (see their recommended order of edits in the first post). The Remove tool looks at all the pixels of the uncropped photo, so if you select just the part of an object visible in the crop and leave parts of it unselected in the uncropped portion, Remove will generate a replacement that best matches the unselected bits. This is one of the common causes of the complaint, it "replaces instead of removes". See this article for a more thorough explanation with examples:

In general I do NOT want to use generative AI. I prefer content aware. Then it is using pixels that I created, not ones from someone else's photo.

Not intuitive or simple and doesn't work very well if at all. Sosemwhat confusing. Photoshop removal tool is much easier and simpler to use. I'd give this app a D-.

Have had issues with Generative AI selecting an area outside the photo, leading to either no replacement, or a gray patch over the selected area. When trying to select a corner that has vignetting from a filter that gets in the way (Yes I have tried all of the "Ultra Thin" filters, this lens always gives a vignette with any filter on it.), the results are minimal or LR selects an area outside the box as described above. Cannot move the selection inside to the actual photo, and switching to another form of Remove yields the same results. Have to delete the selection and reselect with the new tool.

Can you please attach a full-resolution JPEG exported from the original unmodified photo, along with a full-resolution screenshot (not a phone pic) showing the gray patch?

I am assuming that this forum is where the Devs want us to comment on where things didn't work as desired. In no way am i trying to come across as some Guru. I did steps 1-4 of your suggestion somewhat naturally, but I don't know what "5. AI selective edits" means.
-Opinion- So I have found that treating an area of my photo with this tool works best when only dotting the removal. Which is the preferred method when dealing with skin blemishes in my opinion. -Bad- I noticed when I use the tool in a brushing movement, for things like the exccessive amount of wrinkle line in the neck as the model is rotating their head to look beyond their shoulder, it seems like it is just using the cloning brush. I notice the corrections the most when I use my zoom function to check how sharp my picture is. I have tried large brush stroke, tight brush stroke, tried short brush strokes. I only tried to remove one wrinkle line at a time. And I wasn't removing all the wrinkles, just the excessive ones so deviation of my shadows stepped down nicely from one wrinkle line to the next. So after all those different methods, brushing the removal tool is not ideal.
-Great- So dotting skin bemishes, white heads, blackheads, irritated hair folicules works exceptionaly well. I like how I don't have to make the sample area the exact size of the blemish but I can dot an area, sometimes handling 3-5 blemishes well within the sample area.
-Bad in some coding or whatever- As I was dotting and Adobe would flash the analyzing text over the picture, it would blink my program off the desktop or the desktop would blink through my adobe. Very distracting and annoying. Would happen within 10 clicks and sometimes would happen back to back up to 3 clicks.
I'll update on this same post as I work more with it.

Have found it effective generally, but difficult at the edge of frame. Most recently, tried to remove a small patch of stray, thin tree branches from the edge of frame but with several attempts was unable to remove them completely. The tool kept retaining some of the branches. It got close on one occasion so I will keep trying, but the software clearly didn't want to remove them all. It's still a great tool though.

Have you applied Crop, Lens Correction, or Transform? If so, disable those before using Remove, which tries to match the pixels that have been cropped out. See here for more details:

It may have been said in this forum, but it needs saying again. This is an amazing feature in "Early Access" and many of us appreciate the opportunity to provide feedback. I for one am very confident that most of the challenges will get resolved, but it's not always going to be a simple task to produce the results we want. I for one want that challenge.

Hi. I have used this new feature with amazing results but today, no matter what I do I continue to get a dark outline of the area selected. It is one of the easiest objects I have tried to remove but for some reason not today. You can see the area selected outline infont of the bird's beak & I have tried to include the bird on the branch above too just to see ifthe outline will go away but it doesn't.

Do you have an AI mask (e.g. Background) applied to that area? If so, then do Settings > Update AI Settings.
If not, there have been several reports here about the replacements not getting matched well with the background, leaving this kind of outline or difference in texture. Using a larger, more raggedy selection has avoided the the problem in the other examples:
