Black and white AI generated image of a person (male) wearing glasses, probably a software programmer, wearing a hoodie with the hood up and a phone to their ear. An open laptop sits in front of them that they are working at. The perspective is with the image facing the programmer slight skewed to one side. A blurry blackboard is in the distance with unreadable text.
