TechRadar Publishes Real-or-AI Quiz Asking Readers to Tell Genuine Images From ChatGPT Output
TechRadar on September 17, 2026 published a real-or-AI quiz inviting readers to judge whether images are genuine photographs or generated with ChatGPT. The item carries the byline of freelance technology journalist and author Becca.
The item runs under the byline of Becca, a freelance journalist and author who has been writing about consumer tech and popular science for more than ten years. The published text that accompanies the quiz is her contributor biography for the site, describing her background and beat rather than reporting results from the quiz itself.
According to that biography, her coverage has ranged across topics including why robots have eyes and whether people will one day experience the overview effect. She is described as particularly interested in VR and AR, wearables, digital health and space technology, and in speaking with experts and academics about the future.
Her first book, Screen Time, which deals with how people can learn to enjoy their technology rather than feel stressed by it, was released in January 2021 by Bonnier Books. She is currently developing ideas for a second non-fiction book while also writing fiction in her spare time.
As a freelancer she has contributed to TechRadar, T3, Wired, New Scientist, The Guardian and Inverse, among other outlets. Earlier in her career she was an international editor at MSN, an associate editor at Lifehacker UK and a publisher at Shiny Media.
Becca holds a degree in English Language and Literature and a master's in Public Relations and Strategic Marketing Communications, and began her career in technology public relations and marketing, giving her what the biography describes as a strong grounding in content strategy, branding and digital marketing. She also writes a fortnightly column examining the science of Star Trek, and holds a Guinness World Record alongside TechRadar's Gerald Lynch for playing the largest game of Tetris ever made. Her other interests listed include photographing brutalist architecture and spending time in virtual reality, floating through space and painting in 3D.
