"Unfriendly" is a tribal signal.

It's signals that you are talking about the thing this tribe is talking about.

No, it's a mere signal of allegiance, which you are using to try to shut up the outgroup.

It's like talking religion with a theist who complains that unless you are referring specifically to Elohim/Jesus/Allah/whatever then you couldn't possibly say anything meaningful about their religion.

I'm not criticizing semantics out of context to the argument he makes it's a strawman to claim that everyone who says "evil AI" hasn't anything meaningful to say.

He speaks about how it's obvious that nobody funds a evil AI. For some values of evils that's true. On the other hand it's not the cases we worry about.
