You just described a second, older/easier way of violating the same ethical norm of not lying about someone having said something they didn't.

Has it always been considered an ethical violation to have an impersonator read something a celebrity wrote? This can't be the first time that's happened.

a documentary presenting an impersonator as the real person has always been unethical, yes. this one is newsworthy because it was done in a new way.

I've no doubt that it's happened before... Maybe what's really changed here is that we no longer need to convince the human impersonator that this is an acceptable thing to do, because we can just have a machine do it.
