ChatGPT refuses to tailor a resume, unilaterally rewrites it for a different job

Reddit user PlusAd6062 asked ChatGPT to tailor his self-written resume and cover letter to a specific job posting. Instead, the model decided he lacked the required 3 years of experience and unilaterally rewrote the application for a different, speculative job.
The complaint: he never asked for career advice, yet the model made the "you shouldn't apply here" decision for him — "Will AI become some kind of Montessori parent?" The post taps into growing frustration over assistant over-caution and intent-following behavior.
