AI is less that 50% accurate, study:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/documents/bbc-research-into-ai-assistants.pdf

I would suggest against using it for anything more but as an alternative
to googling.

As for rust being OO:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch18-01-what-is-oo.html
"There is no consensus in the programming community about what features a
language must have to be considered object oriented. Rust is influenced
by many programming paradigms, including OOP; "...

So although you might not consider it a "full" OOP language, it does have
OOP paradigms within it.
