No, in the same way that paediatrician isn’t pronounced paydiatrician

It's also not spelled "paediatrician" in American English, hence the confusion.

To be fair, it's not obvious how to pronounce a way it's spelt. e.g. "record" and "record" are pronounced differently, but have the same spelling.

The poem "Dearest creature in creation" is a fun illustration of the differences between spelling and pronunciation.

It’s called “The Chaos”:

The -ae diphthong is usually pronounced like -ee. For some variety, you can use the Latin pronunciation which would be pronounced like -ai or 'eye'.

I was a bit conflicted on the pronunciation, but after verifying with a few sources it seems like it's pronounced just like "demon"

But the first sentence has both pronunciations...so...

I've also been pronouncing it like this and so far I've never been called out, maybe I just have nice friends?

I have to admit to pronouncing it consistently “daymonization” and sometimes but not always “demon”.

like demon.
