For one, this slave has terrible language skills. They only understands about 50 words and doesn't understand anything you say unless you say it very explicitly. If I ordered you, a non-idiot slave, to "bake me a cake", you'd do the same thing as if I said "bake a cake for me." Your slave is not this way: they only respond to "bake new cake for self."
