I agree with the others who say to start with The Book -- https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/
From there, start trying to create small things that you might want or need to do (parsing JSON is something that I needed to do and I started there).
From there, you will learn to fight the borrow checker and start to feel how rust is working. This will be annoying at first, but get better over time (at least in older versions of Rust; I haven't used it in a while so it may be different now).
Read the official rust book until you feel like want to experiment with something, then go to advent of code and try something, anything out.
Then start investigating why it doesn't quite work. And I guess gpt for suggestions and random questions isn't a bad idea.
