The employee is guilty, unless the business engaged the person to do it.
In the case of LLM, the business is engaging the the tool directly, so it's not even comparable.
IMO this isn't a philosophical question, nor a reasonable comparison. What sort of expertise? A pirate copy of a book? That can't be directly used even if bought without permission of the rights holder.
