And that's where you jump to assumptions. EDI actually says she's alive before Synthesis, so her saying she's alive clearly isn't a consequence of Synthesis like you assume.
She doesn't say because of Synthesis she's alive. She doesn't say now she's alive. She doesn't say she wasn't alive before. She just says "I am alive" and "Because of Shepard I am alive and I am not alone"
AKA
"I am not dead" and "Because of Shepard (activating the Crucible and stopping the war) I am not dead and everyone is united and also not dead".
She coudn't be any more clear if she tried. Saying you need to analyse the narrative structure to see the intent is just showing you can't see the forest for the trees.
EDI saying this before and after is a by-product of writing the two parts months apart.
If you don't like the words 'narrative structure', then 'context' will do just as well. Author intent is clear, but you seem set on ignoring that. The whole context of what Synthesis does and what the epilogue shows screams out what EDI means by this phrase.
She is representative of Synthetics in the story, more specifically of the divide between them and organics and the philosophical debates spawned thereof, a staple of which is the question of whether they are alive or not.
EDI is saying that Synthesis made her alive. You're just refusing to accept it.
No she's not, she literally just says "I am alive". You really are too busy metagaming and headcanoning, looking at this such as her being voiced by Tricia Helfer or how the writing had a gap between it, to see what's staring you right in the face.
I cannot stress this enough. Trying to pretend she's saying something different doesn't mean she actually is.
