Yes but AIs trained on synthetic depth maps tend to learn the oddities and noise patterns of the rendering, not actually the depth recognition part. That's why so many AIs that work almost perfectly on the Sintel benchmark (synthetic flow and depth data) then fail to transfer over to KITTI (real images with lidar).
