    This was the theme of Bedazzled, the Peter Cook and Dudley Moore film (remade in 2000), itself a twist on the Faust legend.

    In this case though, the increasingly desperate engineering of the prompt was each time intentionally undone by the devil, though much like GPT, he couldn't help being like that, he just was.

    We need a name for this, something like genie effect

    "Debazzling"?

    The Devil speaking in the 1967 film Bedazzled: "There was a time when I used to get lots of ideas... I thought up the Seven Deadly Sins in one afternoon. The only thing I've come up with recently is advertising."
