Was Max Born's probability interpretation controversial?

Answered in Max Born's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

Indeed, my probabilistic interpretation of the wave function was not immediately accepted by all. Some, like Einstein, found the inherent randomness unsettling, famously stating, 'God does not play dice.' The transition from a deterministic universe to one governed by probabilities was a profound conceptual shift. However, the empirical success and predictive power of this approach ultimately led to its widespread acceptance within the physics community.
