This is like dealing with that clueless newbie who desperately tries to help you, in the process creates a huge mess. You'd tell them to stop, and ask for permission before doing anything.

I propose a new term: paternalistic software. It's software that overdoes being helpful, and becomes annoying or dangerous. It's the software that does things you don't want automatically, because it thinks it knows better than you. Automatic renumbering and autocorrect both fall under this.
