Why would machine generated porn be different from, say, machine generated minecraft worlds? Both seem useful as a form of distraction and for entertainment to whomever wants to enjoy it.

Agreed, and that's exactly what it is. A distraction.

And distraction is a bad thing because humans can focus on useful things 24/7 while being productive?

If it's distracting you from important things, like being in the real world, forming relationships and building your life, then it's a bad thing.

When it's something like porn, which has no value and is highly addictive, then it's a bad thing.

Humans need sleep and can't focus on anything 24/7 for longer than a day or so.
