You're not a bad guy. I'd go further: you're a hero who is part of a social transition away from the drudgery of work. That's a dream humans have had since time immemorial.
You do have to be wondering how we as a society can adapt to technological change to make sure quality of life improvements are broad based. But given the gist of your comment, I don't think that's an issue, at least in motivation and general inclination.
