During a discussion on AI, it was asserted that AI is not yet handling very well cases where an indirect, but quite adequate (unless prevaricatory) answer is given.
Examples:
Person A: Are you going to do that history homework?
Person B: I've just switched on my computer!
Person A: Are we leaving soon?
Person B: I'm putting on my shoes as we speak.
Both questions are answered yes, but without being explicit. I know there is a single word describing this. I just don't remember it. The word is similar to synecdoche or *-onym.
