Does this mean someone could develop a switch emulator using an AI and Nintendo couldn't win a lawsuit against them?

Does it enable decompilation remasters of classic games?

It feels like AI is a cleanroom laundromat

Not a lawyer, but I'd expect that decompilation creates a derived work which is still subject to the copyright of the original.

No, an AI's output can still violate copyright.

Definitely not clean room, quite the opposite.
