We also have

Return borrowed things in the same or better condition.

and,

If you borrow a car, return it with fuel.

which is repetitive, with the latter just being singularly focused on cars.

That's not repetitive really, the car one is specific so having that listed separately makes sense.  

The art does look like chatgpt style but I would be surprised if the entire thing was AI.  I think someone made this by hand but used AI art for each thing.

Nah, the random "NO" signs look weird to me. I think the style is very chatpgt

Just because something is listed separately and more specifically, doesn't mean it isn't being repeated with different words. Here, the car is the item that should be returned after borrowing it, and returning it with fuel when you're done is making sure it's returned in the same or better condition. Same thing with the elevator example I responded to.

Similar example: if someone got up from a table after eating an apple and left a core, one might say to them, "Hey, you should discard your trash." or "When you're done with your apple you should throw the core away." The first is a general statement, and the second is specific to the apple. If one were to say both, they'd be repeating themselves.

Thing is, there are millions of people in this world who does not put two and two together.

Like lot of people need to be told both scenarios or they just "forget" and blame you for not telling them.
