Unfortunately, I feel like many people opposed to pedophilia in this way don't understand the mazes of the human brain. It may be repulsive, it may be something you could never imagine yourself doing, but someone somewhere can't stop these urges and most pedophiles do not offend, but instead deal with this problem alone on a daily basis, stigmatized for something no other person in the world would wish upon themselves. These people need help and support, at the same time victims of pedophilia deserve all the support they can get. Balancing this with AI is difficult. Maybe if we have the technology, we could regulate it? Allow non offenders access to it, maybe they can get it through a therapist if they deem it helpful for them to manage.

It would probably take days of reading to even familiarize with studies on pedophiles and to correct my misconceptions.

Agreed, I think you have the right attitude/perspective. It could very well be that someone with those urges being given simulated CP would make things worse, I just don't know enough to say, but I don't think we should rule it out just because the idea of someone looking at it is offensive.
