Enumerable#any? and Enumerable#detect

Someone told me #any? didn't stop iterating after finding the first truthy value, that I should use #detect instead, but turns out both methods behave the same, at least in Ruby 3.0.1.

Try running this for example:

(1..5).to_a.any? do |n|
  puts n
  true
end

(1..5).to_a.detect do |n|
  puts n
  true
end

You'll see this:
