 `KindInt64` is used for a signed integer value.
 `KindString` is used for a string value.
 `KindBytes` is used for a slice of bytes (in spec: A byte array).
-`KindList` is used for a slice of values (in spec: an array (a list) of any values).
+`KindSlice` is used for a slice of values (in spec: an array (a list) of any values).
 `KindMap` is used for a slice of key-value pairs (in spec: `map<string, any>`).
 
 These types are defined in `go.opentelemetry.io/otel/log` package
