I may be wrong on this, but I feel like they're different things - a daimon/daemon is simply a spirit, feeling, something that does something. AI is a good example. It's there. It's influential like the wind, but it's also not a proper intact form. A CS nerd analogy here might be functional vs object - one transforms, the other holds more of a form. The Christian demon seems a cultural appropriation of it, especially during that era where they were taking a lot of classical philosophical Greek terms and just Christianizing them.
