It's almost a mystical effect, as people who have never uttered "I wish" prior otherwise will do so. What makes this worse is how characters in this situation are now ten times as likely to make a Rhetorical Request Blunder and blurt out a "wish" without meaning to, while the Literal Genie is around. Otherwise, you may have to burn another wish to undo the damage. If you're lucky, they may give you a do-over. The entity wasn't trying to screw you over, it's just that your understanding of the wish's words and theirs didn't match. In other cases, you may have wished for one half of something wishing for the knowledge to cure all existing illnesses will be rendered null and void if you didn't wish for the means to access the medical ingredients that may or may not exist yet. On the other hand if you ask for X-ray vision, your eyes might start shooting harmful radiation, or you may end up being able to only see in the X-ray spectrum. Right in front of you, weighing exactly one ton (and if you're lucky, it might even be in your preferred denomination). Ask for a ton of money, and it will appear. More often than not, a wish-granting entity ( genie, vengeance demon, holodeck, leprechaun, and so on) has some sort of contractual clause stating that they have to give you exactly what you ask for - but maybe not in the way you were thinking of when you made the wish. You have to Be Careful What You Wish For, because oh boy are you gonna get it.
