any([""]) returns True because the list [""] is non-empty. While the empty string "" inside the list is falsy, the any() function evaluates whether at least one element in the iterable is truthy. Since the list itself contains an element (even though it’s an empty string), it is considered non-empty, and any() returns True.

any() # False 
any([ ]) # False
any("") # False
any([""]) # True 🤯
