What you shared is really considered topology optimization and it’s been around for years.
Graphic designers were not “scared” when photoshop came out. While some people may “Belittle” a tool in it’s early stages, most designers realized their would be a point where there workflow had to adapt new tools. The same way there was a tipping point where film photographers, who claimed that digital could never reproduce the quality or resolution of film said “nope, I was wrong, this is better now”.
Advanced FEA/optimization tools like this will never design a pure end product. As Industrial Designers your job isn’t just to design a mechanically optimized structure, your job is to take into account aesthetics, design for manufacturability, design for disassembly, the use of multiple material types, etc.
Topology optimization is currently great for visualizing concepts if you’re designing suspension components, airframe assemblies - or other single material, function driven components.
As long as you don’t say “bah I don’t need them computers!” in 5 years then you’ll be just fine.
