I want a new ChatGPT mode where I drive the work, not the bot. I don't want it giving me answers to questions I didn't ask, because it's trying to navigate in my mind, and it has no information about that, so it's basically always wrong.

I call this "behave like a computer, not a human." Because it's a fanstastic computer, but not a good partner.
