Sorta, not really. Neural networks are deterministic in the wrong ways. If you feed them the same input, you'll get the same output. Any variation comes from varying the input or randomly varying your choice from the output. And if you're randomly picking from a list of even probabilities, you're just doing all the heavy lifting of picking a random number yourself, with a bunch of kinda pointless singing and dancing beforehand.
