harm reduction
Harm reduction does not equate to a victimless crime or ethically sound.

What about the temptations posed for those who would not otherwise watch child pornography in the first place?
I do think that some people who are not aware of their pedophilic tendencies yet may be introduced to them with the use of AI pornography. Additionally, this could easily become a joke for teenagers to use for shock value.

AI-generated images can be used to rehabilitate certain pedophiles
This sentence is difficult to wrap my head around. I agree with rehabilitation, but having them engage in an additional crime to move on from a different one does not pose a solution.

regulators could require AI companies to embed watermarks in open-source generated image files, or law enforcement could use existing passive detection mechanisms to track the origin of image files.
Some people who engage in CSA are using technology that law enforcement cannot access, how could watermarks stop this?

They’ve discovered through no fault of their own that this is the nature of what they’re afflicted with in terms of their own sexual makeup … We’re talking about not giving into a craving, a craving that is rooted in biology, not unlike somebody who’s having a craving for heroin.”
I do not think that a "craving" for pedophilic behavior and drugs is comparable. I do agree that the root of pedophilic behavior is biological, but that does not make it ok to engage in sexual acts involving children, that includes pornography.

that AI-generated child sexual material could actually benefit society in the long run by providing a less harmful alternative to the already-massive market for images of child sexual abuse.
While I agree that physically, Ai generated child sexual material may be less harmful, this is not true of mental and emotional effects. Additionally, that material has to be generated using actual images. If anything, this allows more children to be exploited.
