Spot the async pattern

AI generates this pattern constantly when fetching data from an API.

javascript
async function getUser(userId) {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${userId}`)
    const data = await response.json()
    return data
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Failed to fetch user:', error)
    return null
  }
}

Question

What does this function return if the API call fails?
