Honestly no. I'm not really sure why it would be unethical? I feel like most companies and teams I'm familiar with are using AI tools in one way or another. I think it'd be unethical if you're a student passing off AI writing as your own for a grade. But using it to write emails or help me brainstorm something seems totally above board and fine.

My company implemented a screen to prevent anyone from using AI while connected to our internet and has mandated that it should only be used after requesting permission from IT. They openly stated they are concerned about someone dumping our company data on it and everything becoming publicly accessible.
And given the mental maturity of my employees, this is a reasonable concern.

Go out of business for not using AI?
That’s a new one…
Not at all. My company uses their own version of chat gpt but I use it on my personal devices all the time to help me brainstorm ideas.
I've used an AI tool to do some brainstorming, but that's about it. I couldn't see using it to actually write something I'd pass off as my own. Apart from the ethical concerns (which are considerable) I don't see that making sense practically. By the time I check to make sure the AI tool wrote something that made sense, I could have just written it myself.
I don't think it should be considered that since its a compiled database of information used in a logical way which specializes on a given task presented by the user. Similar thoughts could else be said about libraries or information on the internet, especially those where others outside of ones business having documented fixes when troubleshooting etc. Now if you pass information you do not know as your own instead of knowing the info yourself? It depends on the circumstance.
Example: using it to falsely doctor your resume with things you do not know with the sole intention of later using AI but never claiming you are using it but instead acting like it is 100% all from you.
You still need to give credibility if its outside of your current spectrum of knowledge, no? But using it as an aid and not a replacement for personal experience, I do not think it should be considered unethical as I have said: its research compiled using ones own ability to understand what is happening and ensuring nothing is wrong with the information presented by utilizing personal knowledge to deduce the information that AI is providing is correct. If your not even peer checking it and assuming its correct, that is unethical.
I have seen this question asked in several groups now and I think its a tricky question. I personally don't use it for anything work related because it really is a gray area and I just don't want to get in any sort of trouble. However, I know there are tons of people that I work with that are using it regularly.

I’ve had this thought too. Maybe they’ll look at it as cheating. Ny company won’t let us use it on their network yet. But it could be that they like that we’re using our resources.
