I've tried a few things. It gives back things like "this is a gambled version of this other common saying" or "that statement is nonsensical and is not in common use".

It did used to work, though. I tried it a while back and it worked. I think it learned or was manually fixed.

The phrase "seven monkeys with switchblades playing piano" does not have a single, established meaning. It is likely a surreal, intentionally nonsensical image, and its interpretation would depend entirely on the context in which it was used.

Chatgpt recognized something I gave it was gibberish, and suggested maybe it was an inside joke or intentional nonsense.

Equal parts absurdist poetry and robotic dystopia. Wonderful.
