If you watch the videos on Photoshop's new AI ability for Regenerative Fill and Expansion, it's pretty crazy what you can be doing right now. It's almost as monumental of a shift as the switch from analog to digital imagery. There is an issue, tho, and that is that it's not high-resolution.
In one of the images as my sample, I had to downsize the image to 2000 pixels on the long side, and then add in the AI-generated Expansion and the resolution was a fair match. At 2000 pixels wide, it's only roughly 7 inches at 300 dpi. I then used the Topaz Gigapixel to enlargen the image to 18x24 inches and printed it. The Expansion then matches the original resolution and with the aid of Gigapixel, it looks amazing at 18x24 despite increasing its size by more than 3x.

3. This is the original Expansion when I was adding it to the full resolution JPG. This is just a small cutout of the image where you can see the AI Expansion to the right, and the original image to the left. The red circles where the Expansion begins, and you can see how low the resolution goes. It's most noticeable on the texture of the fountain itself, but also noticeable with the spray of the water and water drops from the fountain.
Here's a second example. I took an image with some of the smoke on the tree to the right and added it to my main image. But the smoke on the left was also weak. Previously, I would have to clone the smoke in, but that's just using the smoke from another part of the image, basically duplicating it over and over again. At some point, it becomes pretty noticeable.
So when I add in the AI Regenerative, it fills the area with the smoke but it creates its own look. So it's not just a bunch of duplicating patterns.
