    Is there actually a downside to just, typing a random string of numbers manually over a number generator?

    Aside from humans being terrible random number generators, not as such.

    It's better to seed a CSPRNG with a source of entropy though. E.g. there are tools that let you enter the result of many dice rolls and use it to generate a key.

    That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about four to dispute it.
