No, per definition when something else other than the driver decides what gear is selected, then its an automatic.
A DCT with flappy paddles is a semi-automatic with an automatic mode, and the flappy paddles on a zf 8 speed (slushbox) makes it a manumatic with automatic mode

But both are not manual gearboxes though. (and a DCT isnt an automated manual as it has twin clutches, but a SMG is)
For the layman this may seem the same but this is a car forum. No laymen here
