@Stoneybroke, I was able to quickly remove the power lines, using separate applications of Remove for each segment of line, with Detect Objects turned off:
1. Did you undo any previous Crop, Lens Correction, and Transform before applying Remove?
2. Is the original photo raw? If so, what's the exact make and model of the camera? (That matters for objects touching the edges.)

Interesting, I'm seeing some issues with pushing the sky after applying Remove, but not the same as you are. So I don't think we're fully understanding yet what's really going on.
In your "3 Developed after Gen AI", you can see the wires themselves:
But when I use a Sky mask to push the sky after applying Generative AI to the cables, the wires don't appear, though the replacement patches become quite noticeable:
So two questions:
1. Click on one of the existing Remove replacement icons where there wires are showing. Is the Opacity slider something other than 100? A bug in the LR UI sometimes sets the slider other than 100.
2. Can you share the edited photo with all of your Develop settings? That will make explicit the precise settings and how they are interacting, more efficient than playing 20 questions. To do that, make sure Catalog Settings > Metadata > Include Develop Settings In Metadata is checked, and then in Export, set Metadata > Include: All Metadata.

A general problem with Generative Remove is that it's replacement patches don't always blend well with backgrounds, most noticeably skies and uniform gradients. This sometimes becomes much more noticeable if you really push the background behind the Remove with a mask, as I did with the sky above.
You can sometimes work around that by selecting much larger portions of the sky, or all of the sky, and then doing Remove on the entire sky. Or you can export and reimport the photo, as you did.
The interaction between masks and Remove creates complications in LR that takes a little learning to master. It's sometimes simpler simply to export the edited photo as a TIFF or JPEG, reimport and then apply Remove. This is why so many people erroneously conclude that Photoshop's Remove algorithm is so much better. It's not the algorithm, but rather the interaction between LR's masks and Remove, that's causing issues. When you edit in Photoshop or apply LR Remove to a photo that's been exported and reimported, you're working a photo with all the previous edits "baked in" to the array of pixels.

A finally, LR's old Content Aware removal is still there, and often works just fine on small objects and wires. Just uncheck both Detect Objects and Use Generative AI (the UI is very confusing here).
Here I've used Content Aware and pushed the sky very hard, and the replacement patches blend perfectly:
I was trying to remove a zebra whose head was poking into the bottom of my image. I watched a few videos to make sure I was doing it right... this was the original:
This was the result...
I tried various options, including "detect objects".. but it just made things worse than before the remove.
Maybe Zebras are tricky because of their stripes.

@Africadunc: "I was trying to remove a zebra whose head was poking into the bottom of my image."
I was able to quickly remove the head from the screenshot, with Detect Objects turned off.
Removing objects along the edge of a photo requires a little extra care. Undo any Crop, Lens Correction, and Transform, apply Remove, then reapply those commands. Remove tries to match the unselected cropped-out pixels.
If that doesn't help, and you're working with a raw photo, then brush extra wide along the edge, as described in detail here:
And if that doesn't help, please attach a full-resolution JPEG exported from the unmodified original photo (not a screenshot), so we and Adobe can see the issue in detail. With nearly everyone who has posted a problem photo, we've been able to show how to quickly remove the desired objects.
Ao tentar utilizar a ferramenta de remoção, apresenta esse erro, após selecionar a área de remoção. ALguém sabe resover o problema? o programa ja está atualizado com a versão 14.

@JeffP3456: "LRC removes the object but leaves a light shadow which it will not get rid of."
I was able to quickly remove the branch from your screenshot:
You've likely applied Remove on top of an AI mask (e.g. Background). Do Settings > Update AI Settings to recompute the mask.
Just sharing my 2 cents, as Gen Remove was driving me crazy on a few pictures.
I was selecting only the people on the beach, thought I was including enough of the background.
It kept giving me... very weird things.
Almost looks like there's no shadow or reflection given the weather but... actually, there's a diffuse "reflection" just below the people, in the stagnant water in the sand.
Once I included this reflection in the selection, remove worked perfectly!
I found a few other examples of extremely overcast days, where a shadow is really difficult to see, but you still need to include the tiny one existing, for the remove to work properly.
