According to the mythology every jinn is different, like us mortals, but with also the experience of having been imprisoned in a bottle or article. Both of Aladdin’s jinn (of the lamp and of the ring) were additionally bound to serve whoever possessed their article of binding but most were not, so it was up to them in the moment how they’d behave.
Very often the jinn or efreet would just kill the hapless mortal who freed them, and then might go on a local rampage. Others (the most common story) would be grateful for their release and might help out if their liberator was in a bit of a jam. So opening a bottle of jinn (heh!) might be a last resort since there’s intrinsic risk.
In the scenario I was suggesting, the jinn stays with their liberator on their own volition hanging out so long as its fun, and then if the mortal wasn’t too much of a dick (or as per the comic, adequately malevolent) will part ways amicably.
So, if you let it go before that happens you might survive?
