Files failing to export from Lightroom Classic randomly

Having some issues with Lightroom classic not wanting to export two photos out of a gallery. I have never had this issue and can’t seem to find any help online. I exported my gallery as usual but two of the files came back with an error, saying they couldn’t be exported.
I’ve tried restarting Lightroom, optimizing my gallery, restarting my Macbook, reuploading the files from my backups and original SD card, but nothing works. It also won’t allow me to export the same files to Photoshop.

I'm not sure what else to do, the rest of the photos in the gallery were all exported as normal and the two files that weren't are no differnt then the rest. They are the same format, same editing. I am at a loss as to what to do. Any help or ideas?

 

Thanks!

Solved!!  I decided to try opening an older backup of my lightroom gallery and exporting the files from there. Both of the files exported immediately with no issue. I'm not sure why this happened, maybe an issue with the backup, but happy that its resolved.

I discovered that my images edited with AI are not exporting.  As soon as I deleted the AI masks, they went through.  I think Lightroom needs to fix this bug/situation.

I have also tried creating and exporting virtual copies, creating copies on my desktop, and pulling original file from the two SD cards they were on. I have copied and replaced the files from the gallery, tried exporting to different places, different formats, etc. Nothing works. I am at a loss as to what to do.
