It seems like more and more people are asking me recently if the Google knowledge panels are looking more and more like featured snippets. Some are asking me if Google has moved some of the featured snippets from the top left side to the right side, where the knowledge panel is typically is found.

Here are two screen shots, one from @sergey_alakov and the other from @brodieseo with examples:

What do you think?
