Is "Why-Man" an alien or an AI?


So I just finished Dr. Stone, and the ending was kinda confusing to me. After
being able to understand all of the terminology and understanding the theory
of what happens, I can't seem to understand the ending. Was "Why-Man" an alien
from space or something?




This part of the ending was left somewhat ambiguous. It is mentioned that they
are artificial lifeforms, however even they do not know who or what made them,
just like the humans that went to the moon.
