Look at the gold price for the last 10 years, it's steadily rising. We keep producing more electronics that need gold. At the same time some gold is lost because not in all tech it can be easily recycled. On top of that gold mining is becoming more expensive because a lot of easily accessible gold has been mined out.

So even if this technology could create additional gold in the future it probably won't out scale the growing demand.
