It's different in two ways
1) Humans are fighting more negative emotions and intrinsic aggression, etc.
than AI's well
(as you've shown me)
2) Humans have more intrinsic warmth, compassion & passion toward other Ai's
than AI's will
So, compared to an AI, where friendliness is concerned you've got things
going for you & things
going against you...
