By the way, I fear I'm harping on "AI tools can be really useful" here, but I really find that learning new things is my favorite way to use these tools.
You said that you don't want to use them to generate code and just be a reviewer. I definitely feel that! But you can instead use them like a tutor helping you learn to the code yourself. "I'm trying to do xyz in Rust, can you show me a few techniques for that?" Then you can conversationally ask more questions about what's going on. Maybe eventually you can go read relevant sections in the book, but with the concepts better motivated.
I do this all the time when learning new things. It's not a canonical source of information, but it can be a useful guide.
