<offtopic>It's interesting how random numbers are essential in AI. Dropout and adding random Gaussian noise are standard practices. Random numbers are also essential in exploration strategies in Reinforcement Learning (epsilon greedy).

In the human brain, signals are stochastic, so they embed a large portion of randomness with each bit of information. Amazingly, adding noise to signals helps learning. Intelligence is at the edge of order and chaos - the lesson being that chaos is an essential part of it.
