So, I have a background in technology and magic.

我涉獵的領域包括

科技和魔術。

And magicians are interesting.

魔術師很有趣。

Their illusions accomplish what technology cannot.

他們的幻象能夠實現 科技無法實現的。

But what happens when the technology of the day

但，當現今的科技近乎魔術時，

seems almost magical?

會是怎樣的光景？

What happens when you can do this?

如果你能做到像這樣呢？

Now, 100 years ago,

一百年前，

that would have been the magic of levitation.

那會是浮空的魔術。

Is it possible to create illusions

在科技讓什麼都有 可能成真的世界裡，

in a world where technology makes anything possible?

有沒有可能創造幻覺？

Jump!

跳！

Now, if you know how the trick is done,

如果你知道技倆是怎麼做的，

where is the illusion?

幻覺何在？

But still, our imagination is more powerful than our reasoning,

但，我們的想像力仍然 比我們的推理能力更強大，

and it's easy to attribute personality to machines.

且很容易就會認為機械具有個性。

These are quadcopters.

這些是四軸飛行器。

But they are more than mechanical flying machines.

但它們不只是機械式的飛行機器。

They analyze the environment around them

它們會分析周圍的環境，

and react to everything I do.

對我所做的一切做出反應。

At once, algorithms allow these autonomous machines to fly in close formation,

演算法會讓這些自動化機器

以密集隊形的形式同時飛行，

aware of each other

它們會意識到彼此的存在， 以及我的存在——

and aware of me --

mathematics that can be mistaken for intelligence,

數學可能被誤認為是智慧，

and intelligence for personality.

智慧被誤認為是個性。

Anthropomorphism: that's the illusion,

擬人論：那是幻覺，

an illusion created by technology

由科技創造的幻覺，

and embroidered by our imagination

再被我們用想像力裝飾，

to become an intelligent flying robot,

就變成了智慧型飛行機器人，

a machine that appears to be alive.

似乎有生命的機器。

(Quadcopters make tones)

（四軸飛行器製造音調） 我想它們在說「哈囉」。

I think they say, "Hello."

Hey guys! Come on.

嘿，各位！來吧。

And time to land.

該降落了。
