Select Subject and Select Background useless on latest versions of PS and Camera Raw

[jaimesilva]

Hello,

I've been using the Select Subject in Photoshop and also the Select Subject and Select Background in Camera Raw for a long time and they did a great job.
With the latest update, I've noticed that it turned out to be inacurate on PS and Camera Raw.
It's useless now. Plus, I have lot's of presets that use the "Select Subject" or "Select Background" that now don't work correctelly.
For example, if you choose "Select Backgroun" it selects the background and the subject at the same time.
Selecting the subject only select parts of the subject in an inacurate maner.
I've noticed that Photoshop now have a new online Select Subject feature that Adobe state to be "more accurate", but I tried and I find it to be exactelly as accurate as the old bundled Select Subject. Not more accurate. 
Plus; it is slower than a slug. It slows down the workflow.
Simply the online version work like the old desktop version used to work.
I don't want to use the online version. Period.
Why turning an earlier feature worst?
So, my conclusion: The Select Subject and Select Background now are useless to force us users to go with the online version.
Very disapointed.

Testing on my end with the same version of Photoshop. It's not perfect, but it works fine based on my testing.
