Even from pure linguistic perspectives, the Quran is a masterpiece; you're not hearing this because I'm a biased Muslim; you would know it if you could speak Arabic indeed.
In terms of linguistic structure, the book is simple yet strong, poetic but accurate, ah well, Heathens of Mecca (who were masters of Arabic) couldn't breach into it; you'll hear this argument a lot as a proof for Islam, it's one of my favorites anyhow.
The Hadiths are dry, very dry in comparison.
So are you saying a computer could never be programmed to write something better than the Quran in the (original) Arabic? Are you saying it is impossible for humans to arrange words in a language created by humans in a particular order? Are you sure the rules of Arabic aren't bent and twisted to fit the Quran and make it seem like a masterpiece?
There is a website called Library of Babel which contains everything in the Latin Alphabet that ever has been written and that ever be written. Most of the library is random strings of characters, but that's the nature of something so crude, but within the website you can find linguistic masterpieces because the Library of Babel contains every single combination of Latin alphabetical characters.
If somebody makes a similar website to Library of Babel for Arabic, the computer would be able to randomly generate text of the Quran simply by the nature of the software. Every single possible combination of Arabic characters will be saved in the database. Then the Quran won't seem so linguistically miraculous.
As an example, on this page in a book contained with the Library of Babel, we see the phrase "to be or not to be" on its own. You can find the entire works of Shakespeare in the Library of Babel. Anything you can ever conceive is generated by the software. The same can be done for the Arabic language.
Also, The True Furqan, is a response to the claim that the Quran is linguistically miraculous. The Quran Furqan mirrors the Arabic of the Quran but people dismiss it as either U.S. or Israeli inspired or as Christian propaganda. Nobody knows its original author but it was translated into English by the Palestinian Arab Anis Shorrosh (born in Nazareth and somebody who has debated Ahmed Deedat).
