    If someone asks if you are a genie, you can simply respond by saying that you are not a genie. Genies are fictional characters that are typically depicted as supernatural beings that can grant wishes. If the person who asked you if you are a genie was joking or making a reference to the genie character from popular culture, you could respond with a lighthearted remark or a joke to acknowledge the reference.
