Toward Slower, Less Accurate, More Expensive, and Worse Density Functional Theory

 In this work, we present Natural Stupidity (NS) as a pioneering anti-optimization framework for Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. While recent trends have seen Artificial Intelligence (AI) enhance DFT accuracy and efficiency, we argue that such progress has come at the expense of interpretability, frustration, and the cherished academic tradition of unnecessary suffering.
