Canon A-1 vs Canon AE-1 & making artistic images?

So basically i'm new to traditional SLR photography. My friend owns a Canon AE-1 and produces BEAUTIFUL artistic, grainy, colorful, flawed images (which I want to do also!). They look quite lomographic (I think thats the right word) The guy at the store said if I was going to get an AE-1 that I might as well get the A-1 and that it could do the same and more as the AE-1. Well, basically the A-1 produces images that are "too clear" for me, and even with the same film as my friend uses for her AE-1, it looks almost like a digital photo. I think i'm going to take it back to exchange for an AE-1 instead. Can someone with photo advice help me choose whether or not this is a good idea? Thanks so much for your help.

There is nothing wrong with your camera. If you want flawed images you should just buy a lomo camera or a diana. your friends camera is old and is desperate need of maintaince.

You actually got a well functioning canon a1. (which is an updated model of the ae1.

Really you have two options.
One. Buy a lomo or diane
two. Drop your camera on the floor and throw it in the wash cycle of your washing machine. That ought to damage your camera sufficiently to get the result you are after.

the canon a1 were percise tools made for serious photographers who were serious about learning their craft (exposure, composition and light).
Lomo and diane were toys made for people who find inaccurate, poorly made cameras, artistic
