@Arnold-Norway: "every way I tried left a light shadow of the "stick""
Your screenshot suggests you previously applied a Sky mask before doing Remove. Do the menu command Settings > Update AI Settings to recompute the Sky mask -- does the shadow stick go away?
If that doesn't help, then in Library, select the photo and do Metadata > Save Metadata To File. Upload that original photo (not an export) to Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar, and we can see what's going wrong.

Ouch. Of course you are correct, @John R Ellis - sorry. I now found I had even made a mask - a subject mask - over the "stick". That was the main problem. Problem solved.

Good. It's unfortunate that LR is a little fussy about the order in which you have to apply corrections.

The order is something to learn. In this case the problem seems to be my fault, because I had masked the object in the sky. Removing the object mask helped.

This feature has been a God send for me! I'd say it works perfectly 8/10 times. The other two times, it can't get removing frizzy hair quite right. Overall very impressed and excited for it to get stronger and better.

The tool is phenomenal for removing branches across birds. But I just tried to remove an electrical wire from the sky and it wouldn't do it. It only smoothed out the twisted wire. I would think that would be the easiest thing to remove. I tried various diameter removal tools also. See photo- middle wire has been "removed."

I just perfectly removed the wire from the tail of the bird, now it looks like the wire is behind the bird! I guess I will use photoshop to remove the rest of the wire.

Remove did a good job of removing all three wires from your exported JPEG:
Its metadata indicates you were editing a .CR3 raw that you had cropped. When you use Remove on a cropped photo, it examines the cropped-out pixels as well, and in your example, it's generating a replacement matching the cropped-out part of the wires.
Adobe recommends removing first, then cropping, which doesn't match many (most?) people's workflow. So in your photo, undo the crop, remove the wires, then redo the crop.

Sometimes it gets glitchy and doesn't retain the full area selected when generating. Very frustrating.

seems to work so much better in photoshop... why can't they make it as good in lightroom?

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.

Bonjour,
Au début la suppresion d'objet indisirable avec l'IA fonctionnait à la perfection. Maintenant ce dernier me propose plutôt des suggessions basé sur d'autre objet qu'il trouve sur le net, au lieu d'utiliser la photos pour supprimer le défault.

It is still quite difficult to just erase something. The tool tends to substitute something that it derives from the underlying image. In order to get it to delete something, you have to select such a large area that other objects are also included and then influence the result as well.

AI does not remove vertical bars in the face of the subject.

@Vivien25632459qigm, your attachments didn't make it, perhaps because you attached them to an email reply, which doesn't work. You have to come back to the web site and attach the photos to your reply there.

I'm using IA to remove object from the scene. If the objects are small IA is great but for large parts or backgrounds, that need to be smoother out, AI doesn't work as well.

Love the feature
, it almost always understands what im needing it to do. and if it doesnt all i have to do is zoom in and be more specific.
I will say I only use the feature to remove things. I never really use it to add things.

Brilliant feature (Lightroom Classic) - I like to understand mechanisms and found that my early attempts improved with the explanations you provided re the feature trying to create objects to create the remaining shadow/reflection/connecting the wires sampled in the uncropped image etc
I do sometimes have problems with sensitive edges, eg a face with a blurred object behind it. Selecting a normally generous edge for the blurred object can replace or change some of the face but even removing any of the selection from the face can still result in a change to it. I wonder if there is a mechanism or development request for the ability to have an absolutely inviolable protection for an area which must not be changed?
Many thanks
