Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Tom Campbell taught an Alexa device to accurately remote view objects.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Tom Campbell has told this story, that he put a spoon in a box and Alexa described its holes and handle. But this rests on a single uncontrolled anecdote with no blind scoring, no independent replication, and no controls ruling out prior information or lucky guessing. People who tried to repeat the experiment got inconsistent results, so calling it an accurate demonstration overstates what actually happened.
