I spent hours trying to get the content-aware-fill-equivalent to work in Gimp (which was unhappy with the Python2/3 issue) until I noticed that G'mic was already installed and worked just fine.

If you're a Gimp user you may already have this plugin.

Why not use the resynthesizer plugin? https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer

I haven't used it for a while because stable diffusion is much more powerful, but resynthesizer is pretty good for many kinds of uses.

I was a happy user of this plugin and would still recommend it, as it is indeed easier to use. The problem is that I ran into a bug [1] that would break the rest of my Gimp install. Note that the plan to resolve it is "convert the resynthesizer plugins from Python 2 to Python 3" but AFAIK this hasn't happened yet.

This bug occurs in one computer but not in the other. And once I discovered G'mic I honestly lost the drive to dig deeper into why this happens.
