The potential issue with using synthetic data to simulate the problem (like image classification) is that recognizing a lion in synthetic imagery and recognizing a lion in real imagery may also be very different tasks to a computer.

not that much actually because the image are handled at a lower resolution and with a smaller set of colors, to make the models train faster(a lot faster)

so they look pretty much the same to a computer vision algorithm
