Am sure there is a lot of rng involved. But, in culture games it is also very important to ally with culture CS early, mostly to deny AI extra culture. I stole 2 techs with my first spy, leveled him up and used him to coup cultural CS. Also, threw a lot of gold to maximize the success of coup. I took 2 cultural CS away from Indonesia and 1 from Portugal at about late renaissance. I preferred to use my spy for coups even though I was behind in tech.

Work Hard - Play Hard
True, a big part of AI's culture especially in early and mid-game comes from CSs, also it's important to bribe other civs to wars against cultural leaders, don't let to pass some WC resolutions (eg culture from wonders), etc.
In short - although certain amount of luck is obviously involved, it's not like you can't do anything about it. Besides if we want to compare culture we should compare it on same turn, as in late game culture rises significantly.
