This is a very common problem. If you look hard enough you will see hairline cracks in every Lanai ceiling unless they have been insulated and even then you may see some cracks. Another solution that may last a while is to use an elastomer type caulking. Get water based and carefully fill in the crack and re-paint if necessary. You can get this at any big box store or Sherwin Williams.
If you do enough research the common thinking is the cracks are caused because the lanai ceiling is not insulated so you can get super heated air on one side of the sheetrock causing more movemet than normal. Also i agree doesn't look like the proper tape was used when finishing the drywall.
