Do I need Adobe Genuine Service installed to be using the latest and upcoming AI features?

As stated, do I need Adobe Genuine Service installed to be using the latest and upcoming AI features in Premiere, or other CC apps like Photoshop, After Effects, etc.

I've tested the generative extend feature in the latest Premiere beta, and it seems to be working fine, but I still wanted to confirm.

What happened is I didn't check the box for installing AGS when I was installing my Creative Cloud Desktop app for the first time, so I didn't end up installing AGS.

Now I'm scared that I won't be able to use AI features properly, or I won't be able to use them later, if I don't have AGS installed.

I checked online, and with Adobe support; there's no individual installer for AGS. You have to reinstall the CC desktop app apparently. So I uninstalled it using the Adobe Cleaner Tool and then reinstalled the CC desktop app, but during the subsequent reinstallation, it didn't even give me the option to install AGS.

And someone from Adobe support also told me that AGS does check if you have a valid subscription to let you use the AI features, but I'm unsure about the validity of that statement because I was able to use and export and generative extended clip in Premiere, without having AGS installed. I haven't tested any other AI feature so far.
