Can Lichess' AI be a good way to measure your skills?

So, I've defeated AI Level 4. Am I considered a mid-level player?
I think you would beat AI level 5 to become a medium level player.
Mid level is about 1500.
Take the top rated player in the world and divide it by 2.
OTB 2896.0 Rapid / 2 = 1448
OTB 2914.0 Blitz / 2 = 1457

A medium rating would be different, it would probably be removing the exceptionally low and high ratings.

Measuring your skill against a multilevel engine is one way of seeing if you are improving.

I prefer to us tactical rated problems. It permits me to see the potential and weaknesses of a player. There is no opponent that can interfere in the result of the puzzle. If a player purposely keeps their tactical rating low to pretend they are weak, says lots about the player too.
