Well... that's the whole point, it can not make sense. It's stringing up words based on it's dataset. There is 0 sense making, 0 interpretation, 0 understanding. Words. Strung together, including then it says "no nonsense" because somewhere in its datasets often enough that's the series of words that best match the "stop saying BS!" kind of prompt.
