It's not pseudosience if the prompts are engineered according to the scientific method: formulate a hypothesis, experiment, reincorporate the results into your knowledge.
But it's a very fuzzy and soft science, almost on par with social sciences: your experimental results are not bounded by hard, unchanging physical reality; rather, you poke at a unknown and unknowable dynamic and self-reflexive system that in the most pathological cases behaves in an adversarial manner, trying to derail you or appropriating your own conclusions and changing its behavior to invalidate them. See, for example, economics as a science.
