genie is the djinn, it’s just an anglicized version of the same word. they’re not demons and the enslaved part is mostly just fairy tales. culturally the djinn are just unseen people, living in some sort of parallel state of being that doesn’t affect humans and vice versa. some believe they can sometimes interact or appear as well.
just like humans they are supposed have free will, can be good or bad people, believe in god or not, and even face judgment after death like humans as well.
I think they meant “fairy tale” as opposed to “religious” or “mythological” accounts. More contemporary or western stories involving them being less canon than traditional stories.
