This isn't artificial gravity, its just rotational force.
The wikipedia article even suggests that the solution to motion sickness is slower rotation, achievable with larger diameters.

Says it takes a ~224M radius at 2 rpm to get earth gravity. Given the ISS is 108M wide seems pretty doable with current technology if we really wanted to.
There is also a pretty interesting chart here https://ase.tufts.edu/cosmos/view_picture.asp?id=748 https://ase.tufts.edu/cosmos/view_picture.asp?id=748
about asteroid size vs rotational speed.
