It’s so hot and I’m grateful to have them but how do they actually create the cold without ice or anything?

Short answer – it doesn’t. You cannot create cold, cold is the place where heat is not. So instead air conditioners move the heat to outside of your house. That’s what that condenser unit outside that blows out hot air is for – it’s the place all the heat in your house goes.
