For me personally such projects are also about having fun, and I just like implementing some of those elegant algorithms and maybe understand them at a deeper level. I don't enjoy pushing data through some intangible neural network and tweaking it nearly as much. Especially if it involves reading through the documentation of some library and the coding is just the boilerplate required to shovel data in.

That said, everyone has their own preferences and as long as you are motivated to spend a long time with it you can learn something from it, even if the improvement isn't noticeable immediately.
