it turns out GPT converts plain docker commands into docker compose files well enough to me, it's been my go-to when I need to create a compose YAML. Checking a YAML and making one or two small corrections is even faster than entering all info in a form like Docker Compose Generator.

Even for the one-liner argument - a better one liner than any docker run is docker compose up [-d].
I use docker to test individual container images. Anything long running is getting a Kubernetes manifest. I never use docker compose, except when supporting developers.
I'm sure someone has written a script to convert docker run commands to compose files.
I am usually customizing variables and tend to use compose for anything I am planning on running in "production". I'll use run if it's a temporary or on-demand use container.
It's not really that much effort to write a compose file with the variables from a run command, but you do have to keep an eye on formatting.
use chatgpt for that... It can also create your ansible task...
Great... For chatgpt...

First version of my server, I wrote a bunch of custom shell scripts to execute docker run statements to launch all my containers b/c I didn't know docker at all and didn't want to learn compose.
Current version of my server, I use docker compose. But all the containers I use come from linuxserver.io, and they always give examples for both. I use ansible to deploy everything.

Virgin docker compose. Chad Kubectl apply.
Kubernetes is just docker-compose with extra steps.
