It has helped me with coding. Coding might be fun. But also incredibly tedious and frustrating. And it's a job people in general don't want to do in most cases. Hobby coding is not the same as having to code for a corporation. If AI helps taking away hours from those jobs it's a society success.

Other field where it could be relevant is phone operators. One of the most universally hated jobs. I had to work as a phone operator for a few years and everyday I wish my job could be done by an AI. And I think it actually could be the case. What I did could be 100% done by an AI. Just to spare workers the suffering of having to deal with angry people on the phone AI is worth it.

AFAIK current gen self driving cars are safer than human drivers if we measure medium lethal accidents by traveled distance. I don't know what are those concerns. They are currently safer and will get safer overtime. Yep quick search finds me recent research that current self driving cars are safer than humans in most situations. Only not being yet safer apparently in low visibility situations, but safer overall. Something 100% fixable. I really do not see the safety complains when studies say that overall they are already safer and less prone to cause human deaths. And there's no strong argument that I know for not believing that they will keep getting more and more safe overall to the point that human driving would probably be considered unethical. I really cannot see any argument besides "new tech scary here". Many lethal accidents are caused by bad human behavior (drunk/drug driving, sleep deprived driving, lack of attention, reckless driving) that a machine would never do. A self driving car won't drink and drive... I really have a very hard time trying to understand anyone against self driven cars. Arguments against it seems... So flimsy... And most of the time I find that the root of the matter is "new technology = scary" a tale as old as time.
