> I told it that it had “10 hours” and nothing to do, and to use that time

This is silly. AI does not have feelings or thoughts or ambitions or goals. We inject our own in there, and it bounces them off the weights that came from its training and produces output. So giving it instructions to do nothing to for 10 hours and then expecting something other than a wordy version of "nothing" just shows a misunderstanding of what an LLM is.
