I've updated to the latest PS for the select object tools, but it doesn't work at all.

If i use Layers - Mask all objects i get a popup with "No objects were detected".

Also the object selection tools never shows any objects and the object finder box is ticked.

What kind of image are you working on? What computer? More info and a screenshot probably would help to figure things out...

I've tried several pictures, with cars, people, birds and just simple object on a white background, nothing selects.

I'm using a macbook pro on Catalina.

Now object selection isn't listed as a function that won't work without a gpu, it's not even listed as one that is listeed as working slow.

Even if the gpu is needed to visualise the objects, it should still work in mask all objects since that's not a visual action.

And if a tools can't be used because of the lack of a gpu, why is not greyed out or comes with a warning it won't work?

That link was helpfull, but it doesn't offer any solution for selecting a different gpu on a mac. I would use the intel gpu which has more memory since that seems to be the only problem.

See here for selecting a different GPU (I believe it just turns off the basic GPU, leaving the better-performing GPU going all the time, which leads to less battery life but Photoshop doesn't like more than one GPU active anyway):
