Trying to understand how compute happens in Quantum computers. Is there a basic explanation of how superposition leads to computing?

From chatgpt, "with n qubits a QC can be in a superposition of 2^n different states. This means that QCs can potentially perform computations on an exponential number of inputs at once"

I don't get how the first sentence in that quote leads to the second one. Any pointers to read to understand this?
