yeah, that happens because Type has no generic param so there's no way for that method to include any sort of generic type info. You could define your own extension method on Gson that takes in a TypeToken like:

fun <T> Gson.from(json: String, typeToken: TypeToken<T>): T = fromJson(response.jsonString, typeToken.type)

and invoke it as val foo = Gson().from(response.jsonString, typeToken)
