So, I decided to sign into the newest hot AI, and ask Chat GPT a question, "Describe existential nausea in the meter of Dr. Seuss."
Chat GPT replied:
Existential nausea, oh what a fright,
It feels like you're falling, both day and night.
You question your purpose, your reason to be,
And wonder if life is all just a spree.
You look at the world with a deep sense of dread,
Feeling lost and confused, like you're in over your head.
You try to find meaning, a reason to strive,
But the world seems so pointless, it's hard to survive.
Existential nausea, it twists and it turns,
It feels like your stomach is full of heartburns.
You try to escape it, but it's always around,
And it leaves you feeling so lost and unbound.
You wonder if others feel it too,
If they're lost in the world, just like you.
But in the end, you know you're alone,
With this feeling that chills you down to the bone.
Existential nausea, it's a burden to bear,
But you soldier on, with a sense of despair.
You hope that someday, you'll find the way,
To make sense of this life, and keep the nausea at bay.
Albert Camus this ain't.
The new AI craze is, as Atrios observes, "There's no business application here other than "increasingly annoying and useless customer service chatbots." Clippy for everything."

Not Camus, Satre.
I'm saying that it is not great writing. Camus was a great writer, Sartre, not so much, though he is a giant in philosophy, though it could be argued that Simone de Beauvoir was a greater thinker.
Yes, but nausea was a Sartre idea, and one which Camus rejected.
For the record, they came to cordially despised each other, after Camus had the 'temerity' to criticize both side of the Algerian War for their war crimes. (I believe Sartre called him a lay saint). On the other hand, Camus never criticized Sartre ambiguous war time activities.
I tend to think that de Beauvoir was the trenchant social critic -- though at times almost as a style reporter. Sartre did do some interesting phenomenological work, and I think was the only systematic existentialist. As a political thinker, he was a joke.
