Hatsune Miku is capable of possessing the Decepticon Soundwave so she is very much not natural.

Also I would personally consider things created by creatures in the animal kingdom to be unnatural by default. With a further breakdown between naturalistic vs manufactured, with naturalistic being for example an anthill while manufactured would be for example a biface.

Natural biological processes such as breathing, pissing, and shitting are natural though.

I mean, I'm being facetious, for the record. It is, of course, a deeper and more interesting topic

Though, what I would end up saying in reality is that the distinction is for the most part meaningless in my opinion. The manufactured does not have to inherently be at odds with the natural.

Manufactured under such circumstances just means that it's been altered in such a way that nature is either unlikely to or unable to. It's not so much as it's at odds so much as they are two distinct processes one is the simple mechanism of the universe doing its thing while the other is a mind inflicting it's will, while life may be a consequence of thermodynamics we can still tell a burrow from aeons past from a simple rock which the wind has blasted through.

Also this is a matter of philosophy which has the potential of causing first fights amongst anthropologists. Which is what makes it fun. Also there is probably no good answer since it is as much derived from an individuals world view than anything else.
