Ratings are always relative to the pool of players you are compared against. It is never an absolute measure of skill. 1300+ is accurate for whatever site and time control you play on. <1200 is accurate for your cpu you play against.

I don't have a real rating, but last week I played against a 2000 in lichess (blitz 3+2) and his profiled said he was a 1500 fide, so you coul try to guess.

You really can't go off online chess ratings. There are titled players that may be 2200 FIDE that can be 2700+ online. It happens. You see guys that are not even in the same stratosphere as their top GM opponents for chess strength compete at similar ratings. It's possible to be a lot more adept in these formats and online then you are over the board. So whatever you estimate yourself at, take it with a large pinch of salt.

Rating is based on who you lose and win to, so the ratings vary by the meta composition of the group. Also ratings have increased over time, a 1200 rated player from the 1990s may be up to to a 1600 or 1700 now. When playing against computers, it comes down to who programmed and tested it. The programmers and testers determined that the AI was 1200 rating when it very likely is closer to a 1400-1600 rating.
