No, I think it behaves in predictable patterns, at least to a certain extent. It may appear random to you because there is an unknown x factor, which is the amount of time your opponent takes between actions.

This could easily be tested with two people in a friendly game. Both take turns taking x amount of time total or in between moving pieces and then the person watching the replay could see if there are any time intervals at corresponding spots.
