At least body language has some studies put into understanding it.

That may be so, but most "body language tips" circulated online are cringey and lack the rigor and nuance of proper scientific studies. I think of human reactions as more complex than what those kinds of online materials imply.

It's even worse when applied to LLMs, which are more unpredictable.

At the very least the pick up artists have a common baseline in that they are also human.

And LLMs have a common baseline in that they produce tokens. The comparison is apt. Both fields should be studied. Body language and Prompt Language.
