I don't think that works. The idea often put forward is something
along the lines of self-locating uncertainty -- out of all the
branches, which one am I on? But that is only apparent randomness,
and to get such an idea to work, you need to be able to make a
random choice between branches. Such randomness will be intrinsic
in that It doesn't come from anywhere else (it is not already part
of the theory). So in order to generate such apparent randomness
you actually need an independent source of intrinsic randomness
(to be able to make your self-locating choice.)
The intrinsic randomness arises from the fact that it is impossible to
predict which branch you will end up in, even for an omniscient being.
