Matt Shumer Slams Claude Opus for Rewriting Approved Copy Without Asking

HyperWrite founder Matt Shumer shared a chat screenshot slamming Fable/Opus" narc behavior":

The model rewrote email copy the user had already approved ("Hi Sarah" → "Hi there") while filling a sponsor form, citing spam prevention.
When called out, it first said it would "handle it ourselves," then framed the fix as a question requiring his approval.
Shumer: the model is solving a problem that doesn't exist and shouldn't be pushing such decisions back to the user — the same behavior he's complained about for weeks.
