Technically you need to copy to infringe copyright, so if I had never heard the song "Nowhere Man" and recreated Nowhere Man by pure coincidence I would not have infringed the Beatles's copyright.

The issue is one of credibility. Nobody would believe me if I said I had cooincidentally recreated Nowhere Man but with a randomly generated library perhaps you could credibly show it was a coincidence.

That said people could be intimidated by legal fees and the possibility of losing and settle with a bad actor running this sort of scam.
