How is this a performance related question?

However, I am getting the same result over mulitiple rows. This is a
sample of the SQL I am using:

select (select string_agg(random()::text,';')

   from generate_series(1,10,1)

And I am getting something like:

If this is the expected output,

Yes, you've asked it to compute a value, assign it to a column, then generate 10 rows of that value.

is there a way to always generate random
numbers?

Don't use a scalar subquery in the main target list.

One possible answer:

select format('%s;%s;%s', random(), random(), random()) from generate_series(1, 10)
