Google translation: "when it wants to detect an electric cable, it detects something else totally unrelated to what it was marking." Error message: "Remove. No object has been detected."
You've brushed over the horizontal cable but the white outline of the brush marks are vertical. There have been a couple of other similar reports that the brush strokes on a portrait photo don't correspond to what LR actually indicates as the brush strokes. There's clearly a problem with Remove interpreting the orientation correctly. Unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce the problem.
To help get an actionable bug report, please upload the original photo (not an export or screenshot) to Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar and post the sharing link here. Unless Adobe is able to reproduce the problem, or unless many people report the symptoms, they generally won't pay much attention.
Using your low-resolution screenshot, Remove did a very good job of removing the cable:
As a workaround, if you export the photo as a TIFF and then reimport it into LR, Remove should work properly.
A difficult image to edit, so ignore the underexposed ship. In the LR edit, there is a ghost image where the wind turbine has been removed - this took about 4 attempts to get a reasonable result. The cars were fairly well removed in LR (2 attempts), and the figure by the bollard was more successfully removed, (1st attempt) as was the smaller mast in the distance. I then used the Generative fill in PS to compare, and the replacements were all better than the LR ones.
@Top Cat2000, the ghost outline of the wind turbine is caused by doing Remove (any kind of remove) on top of the an AI mask (e.g. Sky). The original mask didn't include the turbine, so when you removed it, its pixels were replaced by the original unedited sky. You can either do Settings > Update AI Settings to recompute the mask, or apply Remove first then the mask (which is what Adobe recommends, though that doesn't match the natural workflow of many people).
As for removing the person next to the bollard, I didn't see any qualitative difference between LR and PS.
The cars, however were tedious for me to get an acceptable replacement with both LR Remove and PS Generative Fill. Lots of just-OK variations but nothing very good. Here is the best I did with LR after many tries (PS was different but no better):

LR Remove also offers 3 variations each time you click Refresh, though you have to click the left- and right-arrow buttons to see them in turn:
I like that PS shows you all three at the same time, and as you click Generate to see more, it shows all the variations you've generated:
With LR, I find myself making a Snapshot for each variation that looks promising, and then hovering the mouse over the list of snapshots to quickly compare the best variations. It's clumsier but gets the job done.
AMAZING!!!!! I love what it has done for some of my images... it can be funny though! I'm adding 3 images... the first original with a '360° camera' in the shot, the second (unrefined) capture to remove it and the third, a much better defined selection to remove but still an unsubmittable image. The AI did very well in my opinion, and I hope your further development of it will be even more pleasing. Bravo!
