AI masks and Remove Tool adjustments constantly need updating

Question

In my current Lightroom Classic Catalog, I have photoshoots from 2025 I've been editing. Using the AI masks has been fine up until recently. Now, whether it's a recent photoshoot, or a photoshoot from earlier this year, when I click on a photo that has had a mask applied to it (subject, background, etc), I get a red dot under the mask icon at the top, and a warning message that says "Some AI masks need to be updated. Click to update all." I will click to update, but then later on, I might come back to the same image and the same things happens. I have to repeat the process all over again. It is also happening with the Remove tool. It will say "some remove settings need to be updated". PLEASE FIX THIS, ADOBE!!!

The AI masks and other AI data are stored in 'catalogname.lrcat-data'. Sometimes this file gets corrupted or the permissions get faulted. What you can do is move this file out of the catalog folder, so Lightroom will rebuild it. It means you will once again have to update AI, but then the updates should stick and you should not be asked to do this over and over again.
