Question

Recompute AI creates random blurry patches in my photos

First, Lightroom keeps asking me CONSTANTLY to recompute AI when exporting photos.  Nothing has changed on these photos, I'm just trying to export them again. WHY does it need to recompute AGAIN?!?!?!

Second, going back to look at some of my photos, there seem to be blurry squares in the area of some of the generative remove operations.  Even shows up in exports and when sharing the album.  I try repainting the nearby remove and sometimes that works, but sometimes I can't get rid of a blurry splotch unless I reset all remove opeartions.  Even deleting every single one of them doesn't help.  I have to remove.

I have tried this across my laptop and desktop PCs.  Video drivers are up to date on both.

I cannot deliver client albums with this going on and this could actively lead to me losing money.

Here is a video of me trying absolutely everything I can think of to get this to fix itself:

There is a workaround.  Enable/Disable something like "Super Resolution" or "Denoise" and it seems to force the remove stuff to ACTUALLY recompute from scratch.

This is a massively annoying bug.  Just spent 2 hours doing this because of another bug.  You can paset Denoise, super resolution, etc settings when you're enabling them, but if you're trying to paste to disable, it does nothing.

Can we please get an option to "Fully recompute all AI for an image"?
