Edgar Allan Poe and Beethoven were not only artists, but both men expressed an extremely matured sense of creative identity that transcended the bounds of all deductive-inductive forms of logic, and embraced a rigorous use of metaphore and irony that no computer could ever approximate. In this RTF Lecture, Matt Ehret showcases the roots of automation, and the cult of artificial intelligence with a 2300 year sweep of history and follows the trail of Ludwig van Beethoven and Edgar Allan Poe's clashes with a magician/priest of a proto-AI cult named Johannes Maelzel.
