That would actually be really easy to replicate in such a way that no human could tell the difference.

/dev/random is super slow and even /dev/urandom is surprisingly slow. If you care about performance, something like round reduced AES or ChaCha would be a decent choice.

OpenBSD /dev/(u)random uses ChaCha20 and gives me a few hundred MB/s on recent hw.
