when Wikipedia makes egregious errors, as in this case. The claim
is that each measurement reveals a property that the particle
already possessed. The article then goes on to say that no single
trial can measure the quantity of interest, so they consider the
average over many trials, or the expectation value. Unfortunately
for the writer of the article, the quantum expectation value does
not depend on the physical properties existing independently of
being observed or measured. So the assumption of realism is
completely spurious. Wikipedia is not a reliable source....../

Gemini is wrong, BingAutopilot is wrong, and I am wrong. But you are
right. Well... Maybe, but probably not.

The difference is that Bruce has an explanation as to why he's right.
LLM's are just mining the internet for opinions.
