"Your poetry is just parroting, just like the machine replacing you" provides no comfort and for that matter no hope and no way forward for the poet being replaced, and on those grounds I argue it can even be counter-revolutionary.
I could expand that philosophy further into telling a laid off factory worker that the robot that replaced their post on the assembly line simply did his job better and therefore he should have no grievance instead of asking that worker why the owner of the machine is the only one that significantly benefits from the machine's labor, and then suggesting what is to be done from there. If I told that worker that they are literally the equal (or by implication of efficiency, the lesser) to the machine that replaced them in the factory, and therefore should feel some sort of solidarity with that machine and be happy that their existential equal took over the job, even while owned by someone that gets all the machine's benefits, that worker would be demoralized or pissed off and I wouldn't blame them.
The "path" you suggest is a potentially ruinous one on those grounds when it comes to any future possibility of defeating capitalism before it destroys us all, "meat" or "parrots" or whatever.

Not necessarily.

I really don't want to get into this any further.
