A smart human would know about human biases in picking random numbers and would generate an answer using a random number generator. An even smarter human would ask you about shape of the random distribution and not assume flat distribution is desired. An average human however will likely not be aware about these things and the random numbers you get from them will also be biased.

According to this, humans are heavily biased towards 7 when picking random [0, 10] numbers. This is somewhat reflected in LLM's outputs, with a peak at [70, 80). I found it an interesting thing to add here.
