Apologies for not attaching the photo in question, don't wish it to be published in open.

Imagine a person in gray clothes sitting on a dark chair against a relatively light background. A piece of the chair is showing from above one shoulder. What would be the most efficient way to remove that piece from the photo using Photoshop?

In the past I used the Clone Stamp Tool to manually patch that odd part with the color of the surroundings. It worked fine but was manual labor. I wonder if there is an automatic intelligent algorithm in Photoshop to do just that? Those objects in the photo are more or less evenly colored, with sufficient contrast between them, that should hopefully make the job easier.

The idea of the photo layout is below in a sample drawing:

To anyone who finds this question, I've managed to achieve the necessary result once again by doing it the old-fashioned way. First, the repeated application of the Clone Stamp Tool to remove the unneeded pieces. Then I used the Smudge and Blur tools to make the newly made edge between shoulder/background look more natural and not overly dark/sharp. Apparently, in 2017 it's still the way to do it in Photoshop like a decade or two ago.

Select the area however you want and then press shift + delete (and select content-aware fill. You may have to clean up the edges of this, but if your selection is good this will fix the majority. There's no real foolproof way in photo editing. You'll still have to clean this up, and it may add bits of their shoulder that weren't there before.
