This doesn’t work under the definition of “I” in the grandparent:
I is the entity standing here right now, informed about the many different aspects of the future, in parallel if need be (i.e if I am not capable of groking it fully then many versions of me would be focused on different parts, in order to understand each sub part).
I disagree—if facing a wish-twisting genie, then “nothing happens” is a pretty good result. If I knew in advance that I was dealing with an actively hostile genie, I would certainly not regret a null wish even if I knew in advance it would be a null wish.
“Since you would not remember making the wish, and since you would see no evidence of a wish having been made, you would not regret having made the wish” does not.
(It still leaves open the possibility of wishing for an outcome I would be actively pleased with, also, but that’s a matter for the wisher, not the genie.)

That explanation works, well done.
