May be give anthropic a try the answer is more correct than ChatGPT, indeed in every subsequent attempt the quality of ChatGPT both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 deteriorated.

First response:
Mary is the sister of Susan and Susan has 7 brothers. Each of these 7 brothers has one sister, and that sister is Mary. So, Mary has 7 brothers, and she is also the sister of Susan. Therefore, Mary has a total of 8 sisters, including Susan.
Second Response:
Mary is the sister of Susan, so she has one sister. There is no need to consider the 7 brothers in this context as the question is asking specifically about how many sisters Mary has.
GPT-4 Response:

Okay, let's break this down step-by-step:
Susan has 7 brothers
Each of Susan's 7 brothers has 1 sister
