Thee Stork Club in Oakland, Calif.

As artificial intelligence creeps into almost every facet of daily life, one Bay Area music venue has decided that the generative revolution will not be televised, at least on its social media channels.

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, as well as a nod of support from poster convention Flatstock.
