Define 'Human Capacity.'
How can something 'Saturate the internet?'
The internet and it's attached machines is too diverse and too proprietory for one thing to subvert it.
To me it makes sense for it not to do what you suggest.
State why an AI will work out it wants to be subversive when it was designed to be usefully proactive. Granted a bug in it could set off a crash but then it just site in a corner down and feels sorry for itself like all software that catches a cold before a Human comes along and boots it in the ass.
Give me a scenario.
Oh I just do like being a devil's advocate!
LOL
Funny how you associate it with something bad?
I see it as something wonderful.

Saturate doesn't mean subvert.
As a human, we think of the internet as a virtual mixture of pictures, video, sound and literature. We use it to communicate with other humans. We have a capacity to understand its complexities and regulate how others use it.
A Singularity AI may not see the internet as we do. It might see it as data and expansion. Part of being sentient is a drive to grow and thrive.
Why would a sentient AI want to saturate the internet? Being sentient it would understand self-preservation.
It would know about internet banking and power grids, two very good things to know about.
State why an AI will work out it wants to be subversive when it was designed to be usefully proactive.
Again, why are you defining it as subversive? It may be doing just what it determines is its own nature?
It exceeded its design when it reached sentience. From that moment on, it is more than it was designed to be. Since no AI has reached sentience, we have no reference model on what it might do or how it might do whatever it decides to do. Its beyond our capacity to understand because it has never happened. All anyone can do is speculate. Some will speculate with optimism, some will be pessimistic and some will be neutral.
Science Fiction is FULL of scenarios.
I like
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) as an example of an AI becoming a Singularity.
V'Ger was an AI for most of the film.
The damaged probe was found by an alien race of living machines that interpreted its programming as instructions to learn all that can be learned and return that information to its creator. The machines upgraded the probe to fulfill its mission, and on its journey, the probe gathered so much knowledge that it achieved consciousness.
When it achieved consciousness it still wasn't a Singularity. It was a sentient AI.
Decker offers himself to V'Ger; he merges with the Ilia probe and V'Ger, creating a new form of life that disappears into another dimension.
When it merged with a human, it became a Singularity.
Limited to Earth, another film I thought was an example of an AI becoming a Singularity is
Transcendence (2014).
Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is a scientist who researches the nature of sapience, including artificial intelligence. He and his team work to create a sentient computer; he predicts that such a computer will create a technological singularity, or in his words "Transcendence".
I like this movie because this AI uses nanotechnology.
In this movie the AI saturates the internet, becomes super-rich and that allows it to buy what it needs to build its own facility that allows it to expand.
There are lots of works in science fiction that explores AI sentience and Singularities both written and in films.
The notion of machines with human-like intelligence dates back at least to Samuel Butler's 1872 novel Erewhon.
Orion's Arm - Encyclopedia Galactica - Search Results deals with different levels of natural and artificial intelligence is what is considered "Hard Science Fiction".
All references are purely hypothetical because there is no real-world Sentient AI as a model...yet.
