From thousand and one night to all the later adaptations of stories about habe pretty much been warnings about being careful what you wish for. In those stories the genie tries to twist the wish in ways that are not what the one making the wish was intending, but something far more sinister. The only way to get what you wish for is being modest and really, really carefully crafting your wish.
I think the generative AI language models are modern day genies. They can grant you great knowledge and content, but only if you can ask for those the correct way. Prompt engineering is becoming a valued skill in anything dealing with those services.
There are many ways to ask the same question, each producing a different kind of answer. It helps when you have some understanding on how those models work. But often it's just about trying to rephrase your question or adding more instructions to get what you want.
At least we are (relatively) safe for now as they can't actually make your wishes true. They can only instruct you to take certain steps towards them. But when they can actually start executing those wishes we might be in trouble.
