They could use the camera aperture to take a second photo and calculate blur.

And what if you take a picture across a IR-filtered window?

Pretty sure it does that already.

That's a cool idea.

If that became popular, the AIs would learn how to generate a realistic depth map along with any generated image.

One can 3d-print the AI generated image and photograph that. /s
The sensor already uses phase detection autofocus. You can create a depth map out of it. iPhone X used its dual cameras and that phase data for depth maps.
