I Let AI Handle the Coding and Now I Don't Know What I'm Doing
These days, AI writes half of my work code, and I'm like, what exactly am I doing? lol
Still, at least I do the reviews... I give myself that pep talk every day.

Reviews are the real skill, I agree.
Well, that sounds like a bit of a dangerous idea. Reviewing code written by AI doesn't actually improve your design skills. It's just practice reading someone else's code. Meanwhile, your judgment around architecture and tradeoffs doesn't improve either, and a few months later you can feel yourself falling behind.
I went through that stage too, and normally it's really convenient. But the difference really shows the moment an incident hits or you get tangled up with legacy code. I think your real skill shows in the parts AI can't write for you.
Me too ㅠ Every day feels so empty.
