I've *never* understood the issue with "ain't" in the English language. It stands as a perfectly reasonable contraction of "am not". Now the statement you've used should use "isn't", but that isn't *that* much of a stretch in English. Also, in English, I can't think of *any* word that can go in a sentence before "am" *other* than I since it is the 1st person singular of "to be". So taking ain't as the contaction of "am not", the I before it can *quite* reasonably be assumed, so "Ain't going" is nearly as proper as "I ain't going" which *should* be just as proper as "I am not going".
