Prey ending question (HEAVY SPOILERS)

I wish I could ask about what Prey's ending means in general, but it might be considered too broad.
So my question is about operators. Why at the end only Alex is a human? Why other characters are presented as operators? Was they real or their characters was created only for simulation and they are AI? If not, where are original characters at the end? Are they dead?
And what happened to canon, original Alex Yu? Did he return to Earth resulting in infection?
