"Earlier this week, Thee Stork Club posted a lengthy Instagram announcement about the trend of AI-generated concert flyers, declaring "NO MORE A.I." The post placed the blame at the feet of "indie labels, party promoters and everyone in between," stating that the practice of using AI devalues the work of designers and just is overall "not very punk." The post racked up over 8,000 likes, with venues like Bottom of the Hill and Little Hill Lounge in El Cerrito chiming in,"
"Some inconsistencies will be there, like a character's hands or teeth, or the background being the same texture as a character. It's just weird artistic decisions that wouldn't be done by a human being," he said. He also cited "fried elements" to the image, with some detailslooking smudged and not as crisp as if created by a human. The club has now been paying for AI scanning software that tells a percentage chance that the image was made using generative AI,"
Thee Stork Club posted an Instagram announcement declaring "NO MORE A.I." and blamed indie labels, party promoters and others for using AI-generated concert flyers that devalue designers and feel "not very punk." The post received over 8,000 likes and drew support from other venues and poster convention Flatstock. Co-owner Billy Joe Agan said AI flyer frequency increased over four months and described feeling "skeeved out" and sympathetic to illustrators and freelance creators. Agan pointed to visual errors like inconsistent hands, teeth, repeated textures and "fried elements" that look smudged. The club is using AI-scanning software to detect generative images but expects AI adoption could be inevitable.
