It's ego. People can be predicted as robots driven by ego. Artificial intelligence (for true intelligence does not have ego). "generate powerset in bash". Reply will (sometimes) be: "In Bash, you can generate the power set of a set of elements using a combination of loops and bitwise operations. Here's a simple example:"

#!/bin/bash

generate_power_set() {
    local set=("$@")
    local n=${#set[@]}

    # Calculate the total number of subsets (2^n)
    local total_subsets=$((1 << n))

    for ((i = 0; i < total_subsets; i  )); do
        echo -n "{ "

        for ((j = 0; j < n; j  )); do
            if (( (i >> j) & 1 )); then
                echo -n "${set[j]} "
            fi
        done

        echo "}"
    done
}

# Example usage:
input_set=(1 2 3)
generate_power_set "${input_set[@]}"

Where did the ego some in? The word "simple". That's what someone with ego would describe this code. Simple, for that ego. The creators of chatGPT are the artificial intelligence (ego-bot) who coded it to use that word--simple.
