Am I that bad?

Is it that I am that bad or does the computer on lichess just not like to lose? I think I am around a 1500 player but I struggle with freakin level1 when playing the computer, I was thinking maybe I should give up but I noticed a IM playing three minutes games and struggling (not as bad as I do) but that was level two. Just curious sometimes I can play level 2 or 3 and win four in a row then lose eight. Crazy.
@Ihavenotheory Well playing against the computer on lichess basically you're playing against all stockfish moves except randomly it blunders a whole piece. The levels are just how often it blunders, 1 being the most blunders and 8 being the least. So I guess it's just patience and waiting for the A.I. to blunder.
Level 1 can be a difficult to easily beat even for a decent player, the main way to beat it is to hope it hangs some material or lets you do a tactic. but it doesn't do that too often. The thing about the lower levels is that they randomly play decent moves and then out of nowhere play a really bad move. I'm 1800 in bullet and I usually can't beat it in 1 min bullet because it's so fast. Even 3 min is hard.


just try making it a waiting game and wait for computer to blunder , and try not to lose anything yourself
Please stop with the Coronavirus. I'm sick of this. Not literally, but for goodness sake, this is overblown.
Play some low rated humans opponents. Don't judge yourself by how you do against Stockfish.
