RPS AI is pretty stupid because there is no strategy that can beat a balanced strategy consistently.

Without the human element, there is no strategy or skill involved.

True. It's the more basic of the games out there. However, I'd still say that there are lots of interesting things to learn and practice implementing for RPS. For example, it's about the simplest adversarial environment you can fathom. Also, the human aspect of the game is definitely still there, and it still seeps through the AI written by the humans, of which your own AI can take advantage. :)
