Stuck in tutorial hell

I have built small projects but I don't think I have learned anything. Even now if I were to build a project from scratch , I would have to use tutorial or ai . I want to gain confidence but at every step I end up asking ai . Understanding what a trie is and how it is used in checking existing username/gmail is exciting but building a full-stack project feels daunting. I do want to built projects, however it seems like I can't build one by myself and this makes me very demotivated.
