Streaming videos and playing heavy online games has a similar effect. Which do you think should be preferable: watching ~3 hours of video streaming, or generating a respectably-sized project that perfectly scratches an itch?
I don't really have a dog in this race, but "3 hours of streaming" is several orders of magnitude off using a frontier model to write a project like this. Like, 3000 hours of streaming would be closer. Then you're talking about one person consuming the resources for a useless project they'll abandon after a week vs. the resources consumed providing years of entertainment.
