At the quantum level, yeah, but there is an objective truth to whether or not the cat in a box is dead before looking. Never mind that the cat itself is an observer.
That’s the beauty of the principle. How do you know you’re real? How do you know know you exist?
You know simply because you’re the observer. If you were stuck in a soundproof box and no one on the outside knew you were in there, effectively you don’t exist. They can’t observe you physically. So therefore you don’t exist since you can’t be observed.
And that’s the basis of the Schrodinger experiment. We can’t know something exists without observing it. We don’t know until we can see remnants of existence.
It’s a superposition between both states until you observe the interaction and collapse the wave function.

Then I guess nothing is real, we’re all in a box with no one to open it and look.
