Auto blogs can get trashed by google as jim says, it happens but not all the time. You must always put unique content with your autoblogs - syndicating content (rss feeds etc) doesn't seem to be much of a problem but i've found using wprobot to be counter-productive as matt cutts has a video where he actually goes through sites and makes recommendations, one was a wprobot site and he said something like 'this is the sort of site our spam team sees all the time and we frown down on this sort of thing as it is not really helpful to our users'
The same goes for all those folk out there spinning your articles, what a complete waste of time - Google knows that you are spinning, they are not stupid. What passes copyscape will probably not pass google.
Do as jim says and only use unique content, if you have to copy your content, copy it in its entirety with a link back to the original.
