If you see an account profile marked "Automated" or "Bot", it doesn't mean anything bad!
The "Automated" label is activated by account owners who want to let people know that they aren't monitoring the replies to their posts, usually because a bot is running it.
Accounts that use this label are "good bots", providing useful services such as weather updates or interactive games. Bad bots simply wouldn't use the label at all.
