AI Denoising is ridiculously slow compared to other AI noise removal tools, even on a maxed out PC rig. Furthermore, quality is terrible, and now I see it adding all sorts of artifacts.

I don’t know if it’s a bug or just something Adobe has to fix, but I am so utterly disappointed in the AI denoising feature in LrC.  What’s worse is that I’ve seen it evolve over time.  When you first implemented it, it was really inferior to other offerings.  Then it actually got good for awhile.  But now… it’s like it’s hallucinating and adding the wrong details to images.  If I turn it down, it doesn’t even denoise well.  As soon as I turn it up, it starts sharpening edges and adding weird swirls in facial hair.  It makes my pictures look like an AI generated cartoon.  I’ve been forced to go back to DxO Photolab to denoise stuff.  Not only that, but DxO can literally denoise a stack of 20 photos in the time it takes LrC to do one.  This is just unacceptable.  You can do better.  Please fix this ASAP.
