Ok gentlemen. GITT with an ethics question

so part of my job as head ball inflator is writing grants for ball inflator technologies.

I wrote a grant earlier this year that did not get funded.

How ethical is it to tweak that one and submit it for a different grant opportunity?

but it already failed once, so just sounds like a not so good idea.

If it didn't work the first time, DO IT AGAIN!

so I can go in and fix those issues.

The main issue was I said X on Part A but I didn't say X on Part G

this as something you wrote while others actually helped or something along those lines, this is not really an ethical problem. The question is whether you can rewrite it enough to get funded.

but I only use it to get ideas on narrative.

What's great is the last one I didn't get I got our local economic board to give me a huge document of economic data for this area and put it in Chat GPT and told it to pull out the parts related to what I needed for the grant narrative. Pretty cool.

For a ghetto training facility in North Charleston who trained for nurses assistant etc etc. most were rejected but I did get a few. Then boss man made me go to hospitals to get people for his terrible nursing home that was basically a death sentence but if they had enough social security we put them in. What a terrible place.

You continually repeat things exactly the same way they didn't work for you first time you tried them.

I say, by all means, send it!

Where would the unethical part come in?

If I wrote a book, or a screenplay, or a song, or any other work that was denied by a publisher, I would see no problem tweaking it (or even not tweaking it) and submitting it to another.

In general I find ethical issues to arise when you can answer yes to 1 of 2 questions:

1) Was someone harmed?

-or-

2) Was someone mislead?

I don't see either arising in this case.

I ordered a large sandwich from the local bakery.

The sandwich maker handed me the sandwich in a bag and the ticket.

I took the ticket to the cashier. The cashier charged me for a small sandwich. At this point I wasn't sure if I had a large sandwich or a small sandwich in the bag.

So I paid for a "small sandwich".

Upon removing my sandwich from the bag, I learned I had indeed received a large sandwich for the price of a small sandwich.

Should I return to the store to pay the difference for the large sandwich?

I wouldn't but I might leave a large tip the next time I visited, Lord knows

So... you used chatGPT to write a grant and it said "X" in Part A but

Jun 4, 2025, 2:31 PM

it did not say "X" in Part G.

I think the unethical thing is you used chatGPT to write the thing and you didn't even know what was in it.

Didn't do that but that does ask a good ethical question

how much AI can you use before it becomes unethical?

Like I word vomit what I want to say then I put it in there and say make it clearer.

Is that unethical? I mean it's my words, AI just cleans it up

Run it through chat gpt and tell it to alter the report for the new possible ball inflator company.
