Colors and tint change on the target photo when synching photos in Lightroom Classic

Since the last upgrade of Lightroom Classic with AI enhancements, all of my target photos do not match the colors and tints of my source photos. I think the AI might be taking over and doing things I don't want to do. I prefer not to use AI other than on occasion when I use AI denoise.

I believe I found the problem, even though it appears the color mixer settings are being copied and they are exactly the same, as soon as I click the profile that I used for my cameral calibration, it fixes the color of the image without making any changes to the color mixer settings.

We need more info to help. The title mentions syncing. Do you mean syncing to the cloud or syncing settings between images?

The AI doesn't do anything if you don't actually use it. So not sure what your reference to the AI is. It does not do anything to your images if you don't specifically do any AI masking or use the new adapative profiles. Unexpected color shifts are usually due to problems with your GPU driver, bad monitor profiles, or due to profile mismatches such as a profile mismatch between a mobile device and Classic where a certain profile hasn't synced to the mobile version.

So when I take photos they are RAW format and I use completely manual settings including white balance so all pictures are taken with the same settings. I will take about two or three thousand at an event and then I will weed them out. Because I use burst mode on the camera I will get up to twenty photos of the same thing in a burst. So will make all the settings in the first image and instead of saving that as a profile I will synchonize to the other photos in that group. Only the first photo has the settings I tried to synchronize with. The colors and tint change. The two photos in this post shows the difference, both of these photos appea to have different settings but they are synchronized. The source photo is the white piece of fish and the target photo is the yellowish colored piece of fish. This is consistent through all of my editing since the last update to Lightroom Classic. I did notice that when I started Lightroom Classic after the last update there was a window that said AI is now available when sychronization of photos or something to that effect. I am not interested in using AI so just cancelled out. Is there a setting to use AI for synchronization that I do not know about.
