What about when it (or its descendants) can make HTTP requests to external systems?

If you’re dumb enough to have your nuclear detonator or whatever accessible via an HTTP request then it doesn’t matter how good or bad the chatbot is.
You don’t need a chatbot to have your actual life ruined by something with limited intelligence [0]. This will only be a problem if stupid humans let “it” out of the box.

In that scenario, I'd be more worried about it getting onto a thumb drive ala Stuxnet than HTTP.
...or perhaps there's some interesting new vector that we haven't thought of yet that would allow it to leap that air-gap.
I don't think any of this requires a crack team of criminals breaking into an orbital spa and whispering in the ear of a mechanical head. It'll be something boring.
More like first computer worm jumping from VAX to VAX, bringing each machine to a halt in the process.
