Engineer (and VC) Josh Wills shared a Gemini-generated portrait that casts him as something like the Secretary of the Treasury — complete with coffee beans and a cat — despite his insistence that he's still an engineer. He joked about the "disfigured portrait" hanging in his server closet. A classic funny AI identity mix-up.
