I always though that "evil" means a malicious intention, while "unfriendly" does harm but not with the intention of doing harm. Compare a standard B-movie rogue robot who hunts humans because of murderous "feelings" it developed out of revenge, fear, envy, or other anthropomorphic qualities, with the paperclip maximizer.

Calling something "evil" applies anthropomorphism to it.
