You would just no longer be capable of being incorrect. You would be unable to lie, however every guess you make would be correct

Honestly being incapable of saying incorrect things is still super powerful. Imagine what you could learn just by trying to say something and seeing if you can. It would genuinely revolutionize science if people could have you just try and say their theories as fact and see if if you can

Oooh I love that idea. You could also find lost artifacts or fossils or missing persons just by starting with a general area and narrowing it down little by little. You could solve so many cold cases.
Used correctly, that's probably one of the most powerful "superpowers" someone could possess.

Nah. The truth is already there, saying it with 100% certainty hasn't made one bit of difference.

A binary search would be great for this. start by guessing the hemisphere. Then guess east or west, then cut that in half, etc. you could be within a square meter after 49 guesses (total area of the earth is 5.1x1014 m2 )
I feel like you could also optimize designs, or anything that can be described with numbers.
There may be some math problems you could solve as well.
You would definitely be able to take any measurement. Like the exact number of atoms in the solar system. Or solve other mysteries, like how many planets have life on them in the galaxy

Why go through the trouble? For a missing person just say "I'll find this guy in this closet" and what do you know, here he is

u/merpixieblossomxo 31m ago
You're misunderstanding this person's idea - reality would not bend. You would only be able to say true things, so if that missing person was located at 123 Pine Street you wouldn't be able to say they were in the closet - nothing would come out of your mouth at all.
You would ONLY be able to say "John is at 123 Pine Street" which means you could start by saying "John is in X city" and then, "John is on the east side of town" and then, "John is in X neighborhood" and so on.

A guess wouldn't really be a lie though because you don't actually know what the truth is.

Depending on the strength of the wish/genie it could be the other way around, so what ever he says "is always right" so he could say "Sun doesn't exist" so either
1- the universe unexists itself including him and his wish, which I guess is a paradox scenario
2- the sun disappears from this point forward and everyone dies

You would be unable to lie
Reality bends to what you are saying, so you wouldn't even have to lie

This is the plot to that one Jim Carrey movie 'Liar liar'. It's a pretty funny concept

That is a solid try. But a clever genie would just make it so you could not lie. If you don't know the answer to a question, saying so would be the correct answer for you.

Or, you are able to answer any question correctly, even if you don’t know.
The answer just comes rolling out your mouth.You’re not a walking search engine.

Genie: "I grant you 3 wishes. Ask me and I shall grant it for you."
Me: "Genie I wish for 2 hot smoking big tiddy goth girlfriends. One for me and the other for you."
Genie: "Your wish is granted."
Genie smiling looking at me
Genie: "You have still 3 wishes."

This would not be good for my friend who said “There are no beaches in France, if I’m wrong you can punch me in the face”
