I know I'm 20 days late, and I'm not the jam creator or a moderator, but I suppose it's okay, since Bad Apple is only a sequence of black-and-white frames. As a matter of fact, you probably didn't even need to use AI.
For every chunk of pixels, you can pretty much use the average brightness to determine whether an ASCII character is fully black, fully white, or in-between the two.
Buuuuuuut since you already put Bad Apple into the game, I suppose this comment was useless. Oh, well.
