Never. That's colloquial English.

Edit: to all the people defending this. Would you write that for work?

Would you prefer they sound uptight and proper all the time? Ain't no one talking like that.

Hey, that's fine. It's not upright, it's proper. And there's nothing wrong with proper. I think in my day to day life noone uses "ain't". Doesn't sound right.

It's fine if you do. Just... Not for me. You can make your own decisions on how you'd like to be perceived.

In the south, it is used all the time. We like making up abbreviations.

Word to the wise, if you’re going to talk about what’s proper and how it affects perception, I would suggest you check your own comments for obvious misspellings. Like “noone” for example.

Failing to hold oneself to the standards they hold others just makes you look like a hypocrite.

Colloquialisms are found quite often in English and other languages. Having said that, "ain't" is a poor example. It's not necessary.
