I was thinking about the ethics surrounding ChatGPT and the like. Let's step back. We go to a critique group. Others suggest changes based on their experience as writers. We incorporate them. Is this unethical? Next, perhaps, we give our book to a line editor and maybe a content editor. Next, we hire or request ordinary people read it and give feedback. Feedback! Are these actions, ethical? Nobody questions this. But should we? No man is an island. To be human is to not only be an individual but part of a group, with all the benefits the group has to offer.
I say these things, not to argue a point but to cause reflection on ethics.
