You can view ikigai as orientation, not a specific place to end up but reference for what you want. Maybe you'll get there, but knowing that you're moving towards that intersection is probably more important in the day to day in my experience.
I recommend staying away from Passion/Love until you're willing to take huge risks and own your success or failure. Love for your craft is often times abused by those who would get the rewards instead of you. Doing what you love is not enough. You must do it for yourself, not for others who would be satisfied with AI slop instead probably.
