Not major I know, but would be good to switch it off!

Artificial intelligence is not yet as intelligent to be able to read your mind.

I agree, it is not very helpful. You can turn it off in Preferences > General > Enable Content Aware Defaults.

Nah, there doesn't seem to be any intelligence involved in the process, artificial or otherwise. Looks more like a random crop generator. How hard can it be to guess that I may want to crop the exessive white space in this example?
Turning off Enable Content Aware Defaults unfortunately also turns off all other such defaults. The Content Aware Default for the Puppet Warp tool for example gives great results with setting initial pins automatically.
