It won't have anything that relies on "the cloud"

When you use the AI services in Photoshop, it tries to connect to their servers. But to crack Photoshop, you need to blacklist all those servers. If you try to, say, use the automatic background removal tool, Photoshop will give you a message saying that it will run the (worse) version locally because it can't connect.

Not that I'd know or anything. A friend of a friend told me. Basically a stranger. Don't even know his name.

Right, Since it can’t call home, the advanced features will not work or at least not work as described, is that correct?

That is correct. Most (all?) of the services are run on Adobe servers, not locally
