Why does the AI go hostile to everyone?

In SP, the AI knows who it is at war with. It declares war, responds to attacks, eventually goes back to peace if there have been no battles for long enough, etc. There's a tendency not to attack a new opponent while still at war with another.

Obviously, when a player sets himself AI, the new AI can know nothing about allies, NAPs, or other deals, but it should know what happened that turn and set itself to war with anyone it fought. Does this not happen?

I can't remember. Does the AI actually go hostile to everyone? Will it attack without declarations? I wonder if setting the AI type to the least aggressive would produce better behavior.

And I thought the AI was so pathetic by MP standards, that it didn't matter what it did, everyone would just jump in to grab provinces anyway?
