Firefox on a 27" display. Could be the font being used to render.

The only ASCII image I see on that page is actually a PNG:

Maybe the page was changed? If you're just talking about the gaps between lines, that's just the line height in whatever source was used to render the image, which doesn't say much about AI either way.
