Actually computers have trouble with random as welll, they mostly use psuedorandom generators, though they may have improved these days.
Though this next relates to humans producing random numbers rather than text, its still illustrative.

To quote:
"In conclusion, the pattern-based analysis using the Levenshtein-Damarau distance is both able to predict humanly generated random number sequences and to identify person-specific information within a humanly generated random number sequence."
So their algorithm can guess what 'random' number from 1-9 you are going to generate next, 27% of the time and tell the difference beteween a random number sequence that you generated vs a sequence from someone else 88% of the time.
