Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on August 21, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Pat! Another year wiser and still smarter than most AI systems out there. Your groundbreaking contributions to artificial intelligence continue inspiring us all—though we're pretty sure you're secretly training robots in Florida sunshine just so they can fetch you coffee.

From your pioneering work at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition to shaping foundational theories that guide today's technology, you've truly set a high bar. May this birthday bring as much joy (and fewer bugs) as your best algorithms do daily!

Here's wishing you laughter-filled celebrations—and may no robot ever beat you at cake-eating contests!
