That the observers affect the outcome is one interpretation. Personally I doubt that interpretation, depending on what is called an observation and what is called an observer. I would expect a fully automated experiment to get the same results without the consiciousness of an observer at the moment of the observation. However, I do not know which quantum interpretations have been experimentally ruled out or are presently in favor. This is just personal opinion with little basis in experience.
