You can learn a lot from what people consider ethically important. Consider this paper, which assesses the ethical use of AI by future teachers. The authors observe that some students behave unethically, and specifically, "these practices include a tendency to place unquestioning trust in AI, failing to cite sources derived from AI adequately, and composing written work without undergoing a thorough review process." But let's consider what they asked. According to the article (figure 4) it looks like they were most concerned about originality and accuracy. I can think of many other ethical questions, ranging from the choice of models to the choice of product to applications such as assessment and surveillance. Moreover, in the grand scheme of things, practices like citing your use of AI might not be ethical issues at all - after all, nobody credits their calculator or spell-check.
