should i leave my internship early?

So as the header says I’m considering quitting my 3mo unpaid role early (about three weeks early). Basically it’s turned out nothing like how it was advertised. “I’ll be working alongside the team” There is no team. Just the founder, that’s it. We don’t have an office space. It’s a 2h commute for me to get here, and half the time I have nothing to do. Today, they didn’t even address me or ask what I had been working on. Most days (remember my 2h commute) they show up late with no prior warning or notice, meaning I’ve wasted all that travel time. It’s getting to a point where I feel used and wondering what is the point when I could just be working at my actual job to get money. I have learnt a bit but not much. With that being said there’s only three weeks left but Idk…

The other issue is I don’t know how I would go about leaving. Thoughts?
