P: New AI-powered Generative Remove (Early Access) available across all surfaces.

Horrible!...??  Could not agree with you less!

@nrbiocom: "my cursor turns into a Zoom cursor and nothing I do can restore the normal cursor and options.  Only a program restart fixes it."

Try resetting LR's preferences:

LR sometimes soils its preferences file, and resetting it can fix all sorts of wonky behavior. That article explains how to restore the old preferences if resetting doesn't help.

When I carefully selected the background behind the dog's head in your exported JPEG, it replaced the blurry shed with out-of-focus grass:

The metadata indicates you've cropped a Canon 5D Mark IV 4480 x 6720 to 4052 x 6078. This suggests that you cropped the raw first and then applied Remove. Since Remove looks at all pixels (cropped and uncropped), it's probably matching the cropped-out, unselected pixels of the shed. 

The current design of the tool requires that you apply Remove first, then crop.  See this article for how to remove objects more reliably:

Google translation of the error: "Generative deletion failed. We have encountered a problem and are unable to complete your request at this time. Please try again later."

In LR running in English, that error appears as, "We've encountered an issue and can't complete your request at this time. Please try again later."

Sometimes firewalls and anti-malware mistakenly interfere with LR's outgoing network connections. Try these initial troubleshooting steps to identify if that's the issue:

1. Temporarily disable any firewall and anti-malware package on your computer.

2. Connect your computer to a different network (phone hotspot, coffee-shop wifi, neighbor's network, etc.)

@micaheln63743324: "I wanted the generative REMOVE to just remove the object. However, it thought I was trying to REPLACE the guest with some other cursed AI attempt at a human being. "

See this article for how to remove (rather than replace) objects more reliably:

Most complaints about Remove are addressed in the article. But if it doesn't help, please attach a full-resolution JPEG exported from the unmodified original photo, 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.

@mikhail bakunin: "the delete function doesn't seem to work"

If you provide more details about what's going wrong, we can likely help get it working for you.

@vera24287680o9j6: "every once in a while it just decides that the lead and harness will stay on and just provides diferent iterations of leads and harnesses "

This can happen if you don't select the shadows, reflections, or all the disconnected parts of an object (even very small ones). If this tip doesn't help, please attach a full-resolution JPEG exported from the unmodified original photo, so we and Adobe can see the issue in detail.
