Won’t your friend be at their house for the party, meaning that the son and daughter can safely be left there, as they will not be alone? So you can just take the son over first, then the other two one by one. And if there’s anyone else at home they can be ferried over in any order. I appreciate that this was intended to be isomorphic to the fox-goose-cabbage problem, but reasonable assumptions about the context make it a much simpler one.
That aside, ChatGPT’s first answer goes wrong at the first step, leaving the son and daughter (presumably) alone at home. Then you had to lead ChatGPT by the hand through the “correct” solution, before it was able to echo back to you what you wanted it to say.

This does not strike me as “independent cognition”. It looks more like “facilitated communication”.
