Why am i getting error: generic array creation?

Hello everyone. I started doing codewars, and got stuck on the first task. Ive this:
public static List<Integer>[] arrayOfLists = new List<Integer>[] {
Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3),
Arrays.asList(4, 5, 6),
Arrays.asList(7, 8, 9),
};
public static List<Integer>[] arrayOfLists = new List<Integer>[] {
Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3),
Arrays.asList(4, 5, 6),
Arrays.asList(7, 8, 9),
};
And Im told that i need to fix it. I tried googling the error, asking LLMs to explain whats wrong with it, but i still dont understand whats going on. Can smb explain to me like im 5 y.o.?

Which kata is this? Also arrays cannot be created with generic types. The only thing possible is to use unchecked raw
List<Integer>[] arr = new List[] { Arrays.asList(1,2,3) }
List<Integer>[] arr = new List[] { Arrays.asList(1,2,3) }
