I believe both are grammatically correct, although I prefer the second one. Context makes no difference.

Added poll option for "Either"

Then change my vote; I voted for the second one.

I confused by how someone (or in this case something) can actively produce nothing.

"I am currently making no snowmen."
"It generates no popsicles."
"She creates no posts."
"It makes no sense."

People may consider those sentences to be grammatially acceptable. However, I just don't like the idea of someone actively doing nothing. I perfer to use the word "make" when you actually make something. But that is just me.

I'd perfer it if the sentence was more like this: "It sat idle and nothing was made". There is no longer using a verb that indicates action on a nonaction.

So, of course, I voted for "It does not make any sense."



Edit: and Dullard makes no sense.

Agreed. I'd prefer to use the first most of the time, especially in formal writing, as it's shorter and doesn't involve contractions.
