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.

		If you engineer a clean room process, it does not. Already proven with an open source project that went from GPL to MIT via clean room (chardet).

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

Definitely not clean room, quite the opposite.
