How can I assign Firestore data to a type in React?

I have the following snapshot:

  const [tasks, setTasks] = useState<[ITask]|[]>([]);
  useEffect(() => {
    onSnapshot(q, (snapshop) => {
      setTasks(
        snapshop.docs.map((doc) => ({
          ...doc.data(),
          id: doc.id,
          timestamp: doc.data().timestamp?.toDate().getTime(),
        }))
      );
      setLoading(false);
    });
  }, []);

and the following interface:

interface ITask {
  id: string;
  foo: string;
  bar: string;
  timestamp: number;
}

This gives me this error:

Argument of type '{ id: string; timestamp: any; }[]' is not assignable to parameter of type 'SetStateAction<[ITask] | []>'.
  Type '{ id: string; timestamp: any; }[]' is not assignable to type '(prevState: [ITask] | []) => [ITask] | []'.
    Type '{ id: string; timestamp: any; }[]' provides no match for the signature '(prevState: [ITask] | []): [ITask] | []'.

I am able to read and understand the error, but I don't know how to resolve this issue. How can I tell, what doc.data() is?
