error when trying to run fit function

I keep getting the error:

Attempt to execute SCRIPT mpower as a function:

/Applications/MATLAB_R2020b.app/toolbox/matlab/ops/mpower.m

while trying to run my fit function. Any idea how to fix this?

Seems you gave your script the name "mpower.m".

This conflicts with the built-in MATLAB function with the same name.

Rename your script.

Precisely not, this is why it's driving me crazy, the file name is fitting.m

[Star Strider]

Please post the results of executing this command from your Command Window or a script:

which mpower -all

/MATLAB/toolbox/matlab/matfun/mpower.m
/MATLAB/toolbox/fixedpoint/fixedpoint/+embedded/@fi/mpower.m   % embedded.fi method
/MATLAB/toolbox/control/ctrlmodels/@InputOutputModel/mpower.m  % InputOutputModel method
/MATLAB/toolbox/parallel/gpu/@gpuArray/mpower.m                % gpuArray method
/MATLAB/toolbox/parallel/parallel/@codistributed/mpower.m      % codistributed method
/MATLAB/toolbox/wavelet/wavelet/@laurpoly/mpower.m             % laurpoly method

Your result should be similar to this. If there are any other entries, that points to the problem.
