One thing that always bugs me... when you say ‘generally’, do you usually mean it in the positive, glass-half-full sense of ‘consistently’, or in the glass-half-empty sense of ‘with exceptions’?

I see it this way. Awesome in general is a positive statement, yes. But you could also be brilliant or very awesome. That's definitely more positive than just awesome. So with that in mind 'generally awesome' could go both ways. But maybe I'm being too analytical about this.
so would your argument be that ‘generally brilliant’ is neutral because the tier below brilliant is still good?

Yeah, I guess that's what it boils down to. Generally is dependant on the adjective following it imho.

In that case isn’t it better to drop the ‘generally’ and instead just use that lower tier word outright? ‘You’re good’ would sit better with me than ‘You’re generally amazing’.
