The photo has a tree covering the top 2/5 of the frame, land and other stuff filling the bottom 2/5. In the middle is sky (interupted by the tree trunk. All sky is selected inclding some parts between the leaves, I type in "fill sky with clouds and blue sky" or "fill sky with clouds" and all is see is a bigger hole in the tree showing more sky. What did I do wrong? How to make my now grey/white sky fill up with blue and clouds?

I'm also having trouble getting Generative Fill to create realistic clouds to use to enhance a bland sky.  I've asked for "a few small clounds" which generated a fill with a large mountain range and some big clouds, I've asked for "a thin layer of circus clouds" which generated cumulus clouds, and another one where an eliptical selection was made, asked for circus clounds and it generated nothing.  I'm beginning to wonder if the language understanding model is not able to parse out the key parts of my request.  I have had some pretty good results when I'm making a selection of something I want removed from the image.  In those cases I did not specify what to do, just clicked the generate button with no instructions.

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Properties, Options Bar, …) visible?

I had to recreate my attempt at adding clouds to the sky of a black and white image.  Exactly what you see below is a little different than what I saw yesterday when I was working on this photo.  This first screen shot is what I started working with.  Not quite all of the layers are visible in the layers panel.  There's a B&W layer at the top of the stack.

The next screen shot shows my request to add a few high-level cirrus clouds to a portion of the sky.

 

 

 

And here is the resulting fill:

 

This is somewhat different from many of the results I received yesterday, but it still illustrates the problem.  First the clouds are cumulus and not cirrus and they are not along the top of the image.  They fill about 80% of the selected area.  Second, the Generative Fill added more mountains above the ones that existed before the fill was performed and are now blocking some of the sky. The ones added today are a bit more consistent with the real mountains in that location, while yesterday's were jagged, rocky peaks.  Third, there was a strange object added to the top of the outhouse and the lettering on the sign over the door that said "Shown by Appointment Only" has been changed to something that is not recognizable.  The outhouse was not in the selected area to be filled.  I will add that the instructions I gave to Generative Fill for this example are not exactly the same as what I was telling it to do in yesterday's attempt, but the general nature of what I was asking for is the same.  The other Generative Fill layers you see in the layer stack worked quite well to remove things that I did not want in the image.  For those Generative Fills I did not give instructions for what I wanted.  I just selected the area I wanted "replaced" then clicked on the Generate button and let it do its thing.

 

I'd appreciate any thought you might have about the way I'm trying to give instructions or whether I'm expecting the tool to do more than it's currently capable of doing.

Addendum: With the sky part selected I tried the "Edit --> Sky replacement" and I was prompted with. "Could not replace the sky because no sky was detected" I would assume this is why the AI Generative fill did not work. but either wayI do not understand why this is so. DOes the sky have to be on top with no obstacles?

Thanks ye all 🙂 

pfaffenbichler your method did not work at all. The download is here kevin, a jpg version. I have many of such shots BTW (with the sky not on the top)
