I once experimented with something like that a few years back, when I was regularly using a WiFi that only allowed HTTP. It’s not hard to tunnel something like SOCKS over TLS over base64 over anything that allows sending text, including HTTP. Latency might be a lot worse than the special purpose chatbot though.

I did the same for getting round those nasty deny-by-default deep packet inspection firewalls. HTTP's request/response nature made it difficult, but it can be gotten around in-spec by pretending you are streaming back a lot of data, split over multiple packets.
