Your question is quite ambiguous. There are two reasons why someone might use an automatic posting software and there are two types of such software for two purposes:

1. For auto-posting content on your website or blog.
2. For auto-posting content on other websites for backlinks

So, what type of auto-posting are you asking about?

Regardless of what your answer might be, my response to your question would remain unchanged as both of them violate Google's webmaster guidelines. If you are comfortable using blackhat techniques and don't mind receiving a penalty in the future, you can go ahead and use auto-posting software.

White hat's have gotten penalties as well.

The fact is that it is Google's game and they can move the goal posts any time they would like to.

Yes. I think Google's allergic to anything "automated".
