Summary
X has added a toggle in its iOS app that claims to block Grok (an AI chatbot) from editing your photos, but the feature has a major limitation. According to the fine print, it only prevents users from tagging @Grok in replies to your images on X, rather than actually stopping Grok from editing your photos.
