Reduce Positron Assistant's excessive use of print() #8305

I've been preparing talks and such lately and I am noticing that as of today, Positron Assistant is OBSESSED with using print() to put content (usually just text) in the console:

Notice also the excessive use of print() in Jenny's example at #8206 (comment).

As I'm preparing screenshots for talks, I find myself starting a new chat by saying something like:

Don't ever use print() for R objects in this session

Can we adjust our system prompt to keep it from going 🍌 with print()?

Note

I observe that when I start a session with a statement like this, it really changes the style of the code it generates overall. The plots it makes are more minimal, with less use of color, and the code is more concise in general.
