Ryan and Deci’s 2020 review distinguishes intrinsic motivation—doing an activity for its own interest or enjoyment—from autonomous extrinsic motivation—willingly acting for a personally valued purpose. Illustrative review examples: enjoying the work of examining an unfamiliar AI claim is intrinsic; willingly checking a tedious claim because preventing a false conclusion matters is autonomously valued. Both can involve ownership, and the same person can have both reasons. Autonomous does not mean enjoyable: ask separately about enjoyment and endorsement of the review’s purpose. Neither motive alone demonstrates comprehension or independence from AI influence.
