Does randomly displayed content on a webpage make search engines think it is regularly maintained?

Do you think that randomly displayed content on a webpage gives search engines the illusion of being updated and regularly maintained? For example, if you go to website A, you will see a short list of products with nice images and descriptions displayed on the homepage, if you go back to that site the next day it will have different products and descriptions displayed on the home page but I never actually did anything. This leads me to part 2 of this question, does it matter if they think I`m `updating` the homepage everyday to display new products and offers?

Let me clarify that the actually words being displayed are not computer generated, they are real, well-written product descriptions, but my page randomly chooses which products to display each day.?
