a tyson quote about "this is a horror" isnt going to work...
This is a red herring because I didn't provide such a quote from Dr. Tyson. This is what I quoted:

But why confine ourselves to things too wondrous or intricate for us to understand, whose existence and attributes we then credit to a superintelligence? Instead, why not tally all those things whose design is so clunky, goofy, impractical, or unworkable that they reflect the absence of intelligence?

No mention of horror there. He shows evidence for the lack of intelligence in some natural designs. Is that hard for you to understand?
but what seems as "smart" particles popping into existence just because they were measured or observed is what intrigued me i guess

I agree that is intriguing. I'm not a scientist either so I must defer to their knowledge. Look at what these scientists say e.g. at 2:00 they mention: "Does a microscopic particle spontaneously clone itself in midair?". They admit that they don't know but that probably at the quantum level the particle can be in many places at once.

The honest answer is to admit we don't understand it fully yet. The easy answer is to say that the particles are smart or have awareness. I prefer the honest approach. It's important to not carry our biases into the quantum world and expect it to behave according to our macroscopic common sense.
