You can't fill cracks in drywall without mudding and sanding,those slats as you call them are batten strips
You could use paintable caulking or try to get caulk in a color that matches or co-ordinates.
You want the look gone you will need to remove the slats, fill the gaps with No shrink drywall patching compound. Sand smooth, prime, and paint. I did that in my daughter's modular home. No way around it.
William's answer seems like the best bet. Another option would be to cover old drywall with new 3/8" drywall and mud, tape, and sand. However, that's a lot of work and electrical boxes will need extenders.
