Whats Going On With Generative AI?????

Question

Hello everyone.

OK, this has happened on several photos, but heres an example of the problem...

I Have a photo of a young couple in a nightclub. Someone has walked past in the background as the photo was taken which has spoilt it. So I tick the 'Generative AI' box, cover over the person in the background, click remove and hey presto, the AI Generative Removal Tool has completely changed the person walking past to a completely different person!!!! And everytime I refresh again that person changes to someone else!!!! The person walking past in my photo is a young white lad wearing a white shirt. When I have clicked the Generative AI its turned the person either Black, Chinesse, Indian, from male to female, from young to old, wearing a baseball cap, smoking a pipe or a cigerette, wearing glasses, someone smiling, someone shouting, the list in endless!!!!! Where is the Generative AI getting all these people from and why is it putting them on my photo?????

And also some beach photos, it refuses to to work as it thinks the images are pornographic!!!! Its bonkers!!!! Anyone else getting these problems??? Oh and I am currently up to date my version which is V8.1

Thanks in advance.

Yes - constant hassle. The generative AI, this is a guess, not only evaluates a portion of the picture around your selection box, but it evaluates the shape of the selection box itself. So, I constantly get this very same issue. I have to go in and manually just wipe out the portion I don't want in an irregular shape that would not be, for example, human. Then I use the selection box and generative AI, and it works. So, for example, in a building real estate photo, if I have cords laying on the ground and I do a nice tight selection box (needed for really telling the AI to ONLY wipe out something cleanly), if it sees any portion of the cord at either end, or its shadow... it's going to try and put a new cord in there. And, there is no prompt, that I have found (other users - please correct me), that is good for: "no cord", or "remove cord" or anything of that sort. So, I use the stamp tool, knock out the ends with something else close to what I want, then make sure I am also selecting the shadow and try it again. If that still doesn't work, I'll knock out the shadow, and repeat. There are times I've had to wipe out everything and just refill again with the generative ai (adobe has some of the worst ai anywhere, but it is still, on occassion, useful). For a person in the background, I had to carry forward the elements of the building, wipe out their shadow (using the stamp tool, copy & paste, etc.), and make the edges of their "body" outline distorted so that when I came back through with the generative AI and either only selected what was left of their body, or if I had to delete their body manually, I made rectangular, offset selection boxes and let generative AI only replace small sections. It eventually works, "most" of the time.
