Does Adobe quietly erase data if you use their software in violation of their license agreement?

Last time someone tried something like that, people here were all up in arms about it.

I should also note that there's nothing in the license for the software in question that says that it cannot be used by AI.

when users don't follow adobes conditions for software access, adobe erases access to its software, which is functionally equivalent to an open source library deleting itself. however my argument here is very much diminished by there being nothing in the license.
