I estimate your FIDE rating to:

1176

Ouch, I did beat the AI.

I've played probably 10,000 anonymous games. My chess puzzle rating is currently around 2100, peak of 2400. Playing against stockfish 4 I can generally win every game. Stockfish 5 is hard.

When I do rated games, I will crush each person in placements and usually get to 2200 or so before I lose the ?

The last time I did a rating run. I won each game and placed at 1977. Then I went on a losing streak of 20 games down to 1300. I am playing 1300s which play like stockfish 5 or harder. These 1300s are playing ridiculously strong compared to stockfish 4.

I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

On lichess? I been hovering in at 1300+-50 for the last year... I can barely beat stockfish 2. I've found stockfish at these lower levels doesn't play like humans at all. It will play a near perfect game for 25 moves and then all of a sudden make a horrible and senseless move. If your style is slow and defensive I think you probably fair better. My style is hyper aggressive and stockfish crushes me :)

The AI makes plenty of blunders (confirmed with Stockfish analysis), which makes sense in order to get a better estimate of the opponent's rating.

As I was playing I felt like I had a definite advantage, which I did as it turns out. But because I was playing a computer I kept second-guessing myself as I didn't yet know it was programmed to blunder. I then managed to resign in a drawn pawn endgame - I wonder if this was used as signal to estimate my rating.

It got my lichess rating right within 300 points after just one game.
