There is no widely accepted answer. This is one of the big open questions that quantum mechanics is still trying to figure out, and different interpretations have put forward various answers.

Different interpretations have put forward various answers, even some people say that "the observer" is a guy called Francesc Satorra :-D

I'm noob here. There's no facts that explain the observer effect, but I suspect that it's only an interaction.

What I can't understand is the 'spooky action' of the works that have recently won a Nobel prize. It's very difficult to me to understand why quantum mechanics is like 'to play dice' https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2022/popular-information/

The “spooky action” (instantaneous collapse of the waveform) is part of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics, but isn’t proven to exist, as that’s just one interpretation.

There’s other interpretations that are still valid (many worlds, superdeterminism, pilot wave) and don’t include it, but of course many of those can’t be falsified.
