take a look at some real footage of deep sea beds for starters.
Not an argument, but a friendly debate
Okay, the oceans are split into five depth zones - Sunlight, Twilight, Midnight, Abyss and Hadal. The deepest we had ever taken pictures of the ocean floor from up to 2014 was within the Midnight zone (3,300 - 13,100 feet), which as a reference, the Titanic currently lies in at a depth of 12,500 feet. There are two main reasons for this.
Firstly, this was at the edge of submersible craft crush depth. This includes DSV craft. Even military submarines can only reach 12,400 feet before feeling the effects of the ocean's pressure upon the hull, which is around 5,400 psi at that depth. Secondly, camera equipment prior could only reach 31,000 feet prior to imploding. So, for starters,
nobody has seen real footage of deep ocean beds before, so no comparison can be made.
It was not until James Cameron dived the Mariana Trench in 2014 that we got our first glimpse of the deep sea bed. And you know what? It looks almost exactly the same as Victor's exploration almost 6 years later, even though he dived a further 600feet below Cameron's depth. Did Cameron also CGI his whole experience......?

Notice the different lifeforms caught on camera during the dives? Have these also been CGI'd? What about these guys that we actually know quite a bit about:
Just because they are 'out of sight, out of mind', it does not make them any less real. Nature is diverse with wonderful creatures, many of which we have yet to discover. Yes, I agree with you that they almost look cartoonish, but such is nature - it is unique to our planet and so diverse. We should be embracing them and not accusing everything we see of being computer generated........
