I tried it. The word salad(s) it spits at you are eye-rollingly bad. If the premise
makes no sense to me, how do I write a script of it?

You could addicted to these things:

The bumbling ex-wife of a farmer takes care of a baby found in a bed-and-breakfast.
The daughter of a gullible CEO learns the world is going to end in a department store.
A gang of yodeling hunters tries to get into the Guinness Book of World Records.
A Columbian waiter goes into business with a gracious barbarian.

A teacher and a couple of itinerant guitarists become roommates in a log cabin.
Six debutantes form a bowling league.
A pastry chef and four mutant mechanical engineers reveal deep secrets about themselves in a bar.
A ballroom dancer rooms with a superstitious assassin at a bus station.

A violent gang leader, a rich racketeer, and a gambler give insights about dating.
A mercenary and a lumberjack try to one up each other. ~~
Now, if I could just build a program that does the writing I could be a Hollywood Machine!

I don't think you're supposed to take all of them seriously, but they can get you thinking. There really IS a story in three Cub Scouts starting a virtual reality homeless shelter. Don't you want to know what they are sheltering? What are the consequences?
Or this one, from my later post...
A hair stylist and a rancher ponder the meaning of life in a dangerous alley. Or...
A gang of yodeling hunters tries to get into the Guinness Book of World Records.
Or...
The daughter of a gullible CEO learns the world is going to end in a department store.
Tons of ideas of here and just keep clicking if you don't like the one you get.
